Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development of the Guarani Aquifer System Project Guarani Aquifer (GAS) Project: from Knowledge to Governance Luiz Amore

Huge advances in GAS knowledge Aquifer system with no strata delimitation; Database limited and with no consistency; Important transboundary fluxes; Unknown boundaries; Erroneous geometry; Flourish areas considered as recharge areas; Unknown discharge; No understood relationship between local and regional fluxes. BeforeToday BASES FOR MANAGEMENT, ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, AND SUSTAINABLE USE GAS stratigraphic units identified ; Consistent database that supports map development; Huge water reservoir, little magnitude of fluxes; Boundaries determined (including SW); Geometry, recharge and discharge areas recognized; Relationships regional – local understood.

Scenario before 2001 Problem: Lack of social knowledge of GAS. Actors: Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay –Water Resources –Environment –International Relations Context: Marginal place for groundwater in policy agenda and no place in public opinion agenda (invisibility and lack of knowledge that implied the spread of myths and y fears).

Current situation (2008) Problem solved: social knowledge about GAS existence; Actors: Project Steering Committee as materialization of consensus and agreement (prerequisite for governance); Context: repositioning of groundwater in politics and policy agendas and growing presence in public opinion agenda (prerequisite for civil society participation).

Focus regional / local Technical knowledge produced at regional level (no interference + very slow fluxes velocity) determines Necessary local management

Recent advances at countries’ level Four countries: Water as Public Good; Argentina: 5/6 provinces rule the use and protection of groundwater; Brazil: in 7/8 states the state policy on water resources present specific norms and two national programs for support and funding; Paraguay: Water Resources Law in regulation process; Uruguay: national water plebiscite and management plan of infra-basaltic aquifer.

Amplify local /regional Local management requires cooperation to build knowledge, develop tools, frames, and above all institutionalization (prerequisite for governance) Can only been developed from a regional perspective and framework
