CLIMATE CHANGE CONTEXT • 2010-2040 2040-2070 2070-2100 Long Term Prediction (Year 2100 - Chile Central Zone): • Average Temperature Increase 2,5 - 3,5 °C. • Average Rainfall Reduction 25% - 35% • Impact on Surface Water Resources • Decrease in Annual Total Surface Runoff Volume • Seasonal Variation Modification: Increase of winter-spring runoff – decrease of summer runoff.. 2010-2040 2040-2070 2070-2100 • Increase of winter runoff extreme events. • Possible increase of extreme turbidity events Impact on Water Management in the Metropolitan Area • Actual Scenario: Nowadays we are in the 6th consecutive drought year (no similar scenario has being reported previously). • It is expected more intense impacts in the medium and long term (more frequency in multiyear drought periods).
DROUGHT IN THE METROPOLITAN REGION Present and Future Situation • Annual rainfall of less than 70 % of the historical average have appeared consecutively since 2009 (6 years now). • Weather forecast based models predict more probability of droughts over 3 years • GENERAL STRATEGY FRAMEWORK • Integrated Water Resources Management: • Coordination and cooperation with other users (public and private). • Cooperation with universities and technical centers to increase knowledge on water resources and hydrology (glaciers, climate change). • Water Use Efficiency • Reduction of Physical / Commercial Water Losses • communication campaigns for care in water use • Increase of Alternative Water Resources: • Aquifer Recharge / Treated Wastewater Reuse.
DROUGHT IN THE METROPOLITAN REGION Río Mapocho en Los Almendros (Q : m3/seg) • INTEGRATED WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT • Coordination between the various actors Maipo basin • Without management by the Company would have been impossible to maintain El Yeso level with 6 years of drought
DROUGHT IN THE METROPOLITAN REGION • Water Efficiency Master Plan 2010-2014 • Treated Wastewater Reuse • Objective for 2020 : Non Revenue Water • 71,4 % of drinking water produced is from 28% to 20% . returned to the water cycle • Discharged water complies quality • Actions Oriented to: standards for agricultural irrigation • Real Losses Reduction (pressure reduction, active leakage detection, • Increase of land used for agricultural district metered areas). purposes. • Commercial Losses Reduction (water meter replacement, fraud • Aquifer Recharge Projects detection) • Implementation of New • El Rutal Pilot Project (infiltration pond and Technologies (Idroloc; Aquapred) observation wells monitoring) • Project Benefits: • Groundwater Regional Model with • Efficiency in Water Use for both: emphasis in Aquifer Artificial recharge. company and customers.

OTHER PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH DROUGHT • TURBIDITY EXTREME EVENTS • Turbidity Extreme are more frequently impacting DWTP operation • Caused by convective rainfall events in the Central Andes Mountains • DWTP are able to produce water up to 4.000 NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Unit) • During the summer of 2013 two events of extreme occurred and historic turbidity was registered reaching 380.000 NTU • Both events were prolonged in time causing the closure of plants and the outage and shortage of population
EXTREME EVENTS MANAGEMENT PLAN • Infrastructure Investment phase I : finished • Increase of Storage Volume: 225.000 m3 . • Connection between El Yeso Reservoir and Las Vizcachas DWTP: Pipe Length 5km. • Rehabilitation of Existing Groundwater Wells: 500 lt/s • increase from 4 to 9 hours of continuous supply • 60 MM dollars • Infrastructure Investment phase II : In project. • Raw Water Reservoir (Estanque Estanques Salida Pirque) : 1.500.000 m3 Complejo Vizcachas Conducción • Increase from 9 to 32 hours of Emb. Yeso - Azulillos continuous supply • 80 MM dollars .
EXTREME EVENTS MANAGEMENT PLAN Treated water reservoir : 220.000 m3 of capacity CAYA Aqueduct : Length : 5 km Capacity : 4 m3/sec
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT IN THE FIELD OF WATER RESOURCES (R&D) • Collaboration with Chilean and International Universities for understanding Maipo basin characteristics • Increase water resources knowledge. • Understanding Glacier Contribution to hydrology. • Climate change impacts. • Turbidity event predictions • Carbon and water footprint • Glaciers (there are 999 aprox. 388 km2) • Treated Wastewater Reuse • Climate Change Impacts on Water Supply • Turbidity Events Analysis and Prediction. • Electric Storm monitoring. • Droughts Analysis under climate change scenarios. • Geological Analysis to determine debris flow critical areas. • Continuous Maipo Basin monitoring (weather forecasting, stream flow monitoring)
FINAL COMMENTS DROUGHT HAS AN IMPACT ON WATER MANAGEMENT IN CHILE AND THE METROPOLITAN AREA • Actual Scenario: Nowadays we are in the 6th consecutive drought year (no similar scenario has being reported previously). • It is expected more intense impacts in the medium and long term (more frequency in multiyear drought periods). AGUAS ANDINAS IS IMPLEMENTING A STRATEGY TO ADAPT AND MITIGATE THE EFFECTS OF DROUGHT AND CLIMATE CHANGE: • Ensure water supply to population within the operational area (despite the extension of the current drought scenario, water supply has not been affected). • Adaptation plan includes infrastructure and actions to reduce the impact: • Increase of drinking water storage. • Increase of raw water storage. • Increase water use efficiency. • Rehabilitation of groundwater wells and treatment. • Coordinated Management of water resources with other users. • Decrease of carbon footprint. • Improve water resources monitoring • Contribute to scientific knowledge through water resources studies in collaboration with universities
