INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT OF WATER RESOURCES DIPLOMA

Argentina is a vast country with an uneven distribution of water resources. To address the complex scenarios of today and the future —driven by climate change and shifts in land use— it is essential to promote coordinated management of resources, prioritizing the environmental, social, and economic sustainability of every activity.

With this purpose, the CFI, together with provincial governments, implements the Integrated management of water resources Program.
