Description

During recent decades significant climate patterns have been recorded, which can be arguably linked with current global climate change. Since the 60’s precipitation increased notably, reaching annual average levels much higher than those registered before.

In San Luis, as a result of these changes, agricultural areas were expanded and there were significant improvements in livestock fields but have come together with negative changes, including, a rise of rivers' levels and floods, which in turn add to the vulnerability of communities and agricultural activity.

Data is used by scientists, farmers or stockholders.
