Natural Springs Proteciton
Proyect Type:
Access to safe water
- Iguazú Watershed | Misiones | Argentina
We are working with producers to raise awareness about water conservation and address the challenge of developing efficient solutions to improve water quality through spring protection. We have implemented protective and sanitation works for springs used by production units as sources of domestic water. Four intervention models were developed and applied based on the specific characteristics of each spring surveyed. All models are based on the encapsulation of underground springs using onsite concrete walls.
Estimated Volumetric Benefit: 22,709 m³/year (Measurement for Access to Water for Human Consumption *WRI Methodology).
Impact: 426 adults and 248 children with access to safe water
Impact: Over 270 protected springs
