Study forecasts northern Chile will lose 50% of its water resources by 2060
Chile is experiencing its worst drought in six decades and it is the country with the greatest water crisis in the entire Western Hemisphere. According to Greenpeace, 76% of Chile s territory is affected by the lack of water. A situation that, according to the conclusions of a study carried out by the University of Chile, will continue to affect the country and become worse in the coming decades.
The study, which was commissioned by the General Water Authority, modeled the hydroclimatic variations between the periods of 1985-2015 and 1955-1985 to determine the projections for the next decades, concluding that the north-central area of the country will suffer a strong reduction of its water reserves between 2030 and 2060, which will lead to the loss of more than 50% of its water.
