En este trabajo se resumen las principales características del borde oeste de la Meseta Meridional de la Península Ibérica, desde el punto de vista hidrológico, hidrogeológico e hidroquímico. Así, se realiza una síntesis geológica y climatológica de la zona , como base al establecimiento de los recursos hidráulicos en la región. Por otra parte, se cifra la demanda de agua en la zona, tanto para abastecimiento como para agricultura, y por último, se establecen aquellos aspectos de calidad de las aguas superficiales y subterráneas más relevantes. | The main hydrological, hydrogeological and hydrochemical characteristics of the "Meseta Meridional" (Spain) are summarized in this paper. A geological and climatic synthesis is done as a basis for establishing the hydraulic resources of the region. Likewise, the water demand in the area, both for urban and industry supplies and agriculture, is estimated. Lastly the most outstanding aspects on quality of surface and underground waters are determined.

Climate change is at the top of the development agenda in Central America. This region, together with the Caribbean, is highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change in Latin America. Climate change is manifesting itself through higher average temperatures and more frequent droughts that result in higher water stress, and through the rising frequency of extreme weather events such as tropical storms, hurricanes, floods and landslides, all of which pose significant challenges in the rural water supply and sanitation sector. The paper starts with a review of the historic data on temperature and precipitation trends in Central America and particularly at the regional level in Nicaragua. The data reveal a clear trend of the growing climate variability, increased water stress for crops, and greater frequency of extreme weather events. The rising intensity and frequency of ex-treme weather events is among the most critical risks to the region's development agenda, and they translate into high economic losses. This paper examines the impacts and implications of potential climate change on water resources in Nicaragua and makes key recommendations to integrate climate change and rural water supply and sanitation policies and programs in a way that increase resilience to current and future climate conditions. | 0
