Protection and conservation of aquifer recharge areas

The book addresses the critical issue of water supply in Llallagua, focusing on the impact of climate change and human activities on the Katiri Dam. It highlights how intense agricultural and livestock production has led to hydraulic discontinuity, erosion, and sedimentation, threatening the dam's functionality. The need for a participatory management plan for soil conservation in the micro-watershed is emphasized, as it is vital for sustaining this crucial infrastructure that serves the local population and new urban developments.
