| 536 | 69834 | Municipalidad de General Alvear (Mendoza) | General Alvear, Buenos Aires | Argentina | Latin America | public | 2018 | Increased water stress or scarcity | Current | Extremely serious | Los rÃos Atuel y Diamante aportan sus aguas a la cuenca desde el oeste y sus regÃmenes son de tipo nival. En el curso de ambos rÃos existen sistemas de embalses que, además de posibilitar la producción de hidroelectricidad, actúan como elementos de regulación de caudales. En el rÃo Diamante, cuyo módulo es de 36.8 m3/s, se encuentra el sistema conformado por los diques:-Agua de Toro (376 hm3), Los Reyunos (255hm3) y El Tigre (7 hm3) En el rÃo Atuel, de módulo 34,7 m3/s, los diques:-El Nihuil (356 hm3) y Valle Grande (168 hm3). El primero de ellos produce la recarga principal de la cuenca, que es del orden de los 130 hm3/año en zona de acuÃfero libre. El aporte del rÃo Atuel, al ingresar a la cuenca es de escasa magnitud y en la mayorÃa de su recorrido se comporta como efluente captando aguas freáticas y desagües de la cuenca. Anualmente se realizan evaluaciones de riesgo de los mismos sobre dos hipótesis posibles, la ruptura simple y la ruptura en cascada, donde los volúmenes erogados variarÃan entre los 250 metros cúbicos y los 600 metros cúbicos, de acuerdo con las estimaciones de las empresas HINISA (Hidroeléctrica Nihuil Sociedad Anónima) e HIDISA (Hidroeléctrica Diamante Sociedad Anónima), concesionarias de los sistemas, la recurrencia de un posible incidente de menor gravedad se podrÃa presentar entre los 50/100 años, mientras que no hay estimación posible para un incidente mayor. Otra de las variantes que presentan los eventos adversos con origen hÃdrico, son los anegamientos de sectores bajos de nuestro departamento y que tienen como causa las lluvias estivales. Las mismas provocan el colapso de los sistemas de desagüe pluvial urbano y agrÃcola y además el mal funcionamiento de los sistemas de tratamiento de aguas domiciliarios debiendo en algunos casos evacuar a las familias afectadas. Desde hace unas décadas otro evento a considerar, aunque de progreso más lento que los anteriores pero de consecuencias importantes en la población regional, es el avance de la desertificación y las variaciones en su capacidad de contención de las napas de aguas subterráneas. Estas problemáticas son percibidas por nuestras comunidades aunque aún no han sido evaluadas en cuanto al duro impacto que viene provocando y a la severidad con la que se presentaran en el mediano y largo plazo. | 46429 | 2010 | (-34.978, -67.6955) | |
