Experience of virtual reality
Understand
the challenges of the
water management
Exploring the water journey from source to city by giving a voice to the actors of change by showing their challenges and solutions, by teleporting to inaccessible places.
Here begins a long (virtual) journey, from the high Andean peaks to the coastal zones, in order to better understand the challenges related to this essential but also fragile resource. Its cycle, disrupted by climate variability, and its quality affected by our activities, lead actors to rethink their practices in a constantly changing world: urban and agricultural expansion, the resilience of drinking water networks, community participation, ecosystem services and wastewater management are topics that you will explore in depth during this excursion in order to become involved in the necessary transitions and transformations.

Water for Abancay
and their communities
This valley nestled in the heart of the Apurimac is a laboratory for water cooperation and the functioning of nature-based infrastructure to meet current and future needs. Equitable water sharing, uncontrolled urban sprawl and wastewater treatment remain major challenges.

Urban Waters
in the Marqués Valley
Located in the north-east of the Guatemalan volcanic arc, these 5 municipalities have professionalised their drinking water management services: automation, organisation, works and political will have borne fruit. At the same time, uses are improved through innovative agricultural practices or rainwater harvesting. However, threats such as waste management, deforestation or sewage affect this resource.

ASADAS
resilient
Around the Greater San José Metropolitan Area, numerous associative water operators work every day to provide drinking water to the population. Despite limited resources, they strive for greater equity and participation, and also seek to increase their resilience in the face of major climatic events or unexpected contamination by agricultural fungicides.

Mapping
of groundwater
The Metropolitan Area of San Salvador (AMSS), with 14 municipalities and approximately 1.8 million inhabitants, has the particularity of being supplied mainly by groundwater. Mapping aquifer recharge zones is essential to protect them, monitor them and plan the city's development without affecting them. This is the great challenge facing a city that is growing at the expense of nature and a growing population that demands more and more of the precious liquid.
