The article “Modelling water resources for planning irrigation development in drought-prone southern Chile” was finally published on the International Journal of Water Resources Development journal.

The Chilean Irrigation Commission (CNR) is evaluating an important expansion of irrigated areas in the Araucanía region in southern Chile. This work uses the WEAP water allocation model to investigate whether the construction of two reservoirs combined with higher irrigation efficiency could increase drought resilience in the drought-prone Araucanía region (Chile).
