CLIMATE RESILIENCE ANALYSIS OF THE DRINKING WATER SYSTEM PROJECT IN HUAYRAPATA COMMUNITY

Abstract

This document reflects an Investment Resilience Analysis (Program ARI) to the project “Sistema de Agua Potable enComunidad Huayrapata” (Potable Water System in the Huayrapata Community), a project proposed for themunicipality Poroma. For this project, it has been considered a climate change scenario considering the records exposedin the DesInventar Database, completing them with what is exposed in the Territorial Plan for ComprehensiveDevelopment (PTDI) of the municipality. In this area, in addition to the lack of access to quality water for theinhabitants, low accessibility and a limited municipal budget, also presents as main threats landslides and intensehailstorms, which could affect the components of the project, prioritizing the components of water intake works and thewater adduction line by gravity, the ARI analysis was carried out based on the Risk Analysis, the Climate ResilienceAnalysis and a Cost Benefit Analysis. Based on each component of the project, the functionality of each one against thethreats and the proposed mitigation measures, such as the construction of a retaining wall, the choice of new routes forthe adduction line, and pipeline reinforcement works, After the evaluation carried out, it was determined that theirimplementation in the project would mean a benefit in the future, since they indicate savings in reconstruction worksand emergency care.
