Flood Mitigation:

Floods are processes generated by the overflow of water bodies that generate occupation with water.

Aquifer Recharge Improvement:

Refers to techniques for groundwater replenishment or augmentation groundwater stored in aquifers during wet periods to help improve the safety and sustainability of the water supply.

Sustaining or improving base flow:

The base flow in rivers is contributed by the aquifers in contact and is what maintains the flow during the summer.

Physical Risk Indicators Associated with the Amount of Water:

Risks to water systems contemplate the impacts on the water cycle due to the effects of climate variability and human activities, especially those events that reduce flow and aquifier recharge, and therefore deregulate the natural behavior of flows, reduce the assimilation capacity and those that reduce or expand the dynamics of surface waters over the territory.

Physical Risk Indicators Associated with Water Quality:

Water quality refers to those conditions that must be present in water in order for it to maintain a balanced ecosystem and to meet certain quality objectives. Human action constantly generates residues that influence the natural regime of the hydrological cycle, generating impacts both in terms of water quantity and quality conditions and in its spatio-temporal variation.
