Abstract
The report details activities and outputs of the groundwater management strategy with stakeholders in regional water management in Cliza municipality, Bolivia. Groundwater studies determined the extent of the aquifer, recharge rates, hydraulic properties, and the effect of extractions on surface water bodies. Workshops were held with water user groups and technicians. The implementation and demonstration of an efficient sprinkler irrigation system was presented to irrigation groups in order to encourage the shift away from flood irrigation. At universities, capacity building included short courses on the use of electrical resistivity tomography, presented at the Centro Agua, UMSS and at USFX.
