Representatives from IRI (Paul Block, Cathy Vaughn), CRED (Sabine Marx), and Barnard College (Allyza Lustig) conducted a site visit to the Elqui River Basin in Chile. Funded by Earth Institute's Cross-Cutting Initiative, the project seeks to understand how water resource decisions may benefit from incorporation of climate information, specifically at the seasonal and decadal time scales. The January trip was designed to interview local water managers, government agencies, irrigated farmers, research institutes, and academics regarding the degree to which climate information is actively consulted throughout the basin, and the capacity to adopt such practices.
