Watershed Study / Citizen’s Water Report

In partnership with the Baja Coastal Institute, we have completed a thorough investigation of water resources in the four watersheds that make up the greater Cabo del Este region between La Paz and Los Cabos: Los Planes, San Bartolo, Santiago and Cabo Pulmo watershed-aquifers. We seek to understand the basic availability, quality, and use of water, the patterns of demand that will come in the future, and what set of alternatives we have to increase water availability or take better care of what we have. Key information will be provided in a concise and simple Citizen’s Water Report that summarizes the current and future state of water in the East Cape region. Our partners at BCI will introduce the Citizen’s Water Report in the region’s upper level public schools, thus providing the first integral water education in the region. The Report will also provide opportunities to meet with key leaders and organizations to educate and learn about current and planned water uses. Together these actions set a course toward integrated, collaborative water management that balances with the scant water availability in the region.
