Socio-environmental conflicts were identified related to deforestation of riparian forests also, pollution of soil and water and soil degradation by malpractices in agriculture health related probleMON, environmental degradation and probleMON derived from solid wastes and their insufficient treatment and deposition. The local watershed council was capable of analysing these prioritized conflicts and proposed strategies according to its legal competence. Assessing IWM showed an advancement of 35 percent of the total obtainable qualification and a set of critical elements were identified to advance towards IWM. Assessing groundwater vulnerability to pollution resulted in intermediate-high levels of vulnerability (DRASTIC: 56 percent of the watersheds with values of 140-159 GOD: 95 percent of the watersheds with values of 0.4 - 0.5), with maximum vulnerability in the lower parts of the watersheds in urban areas and where the flooding of the Yacyreta lake will take place, making it more necessary to consider the threat of urban pollution to the Basalt Aquifer of the Guarani Aquifer System. 2014-10-20T04:12:54Z 2014-10-20T04:12:54Z 2010 Tesis de doctorado 374613 https://repositorio.catie.ac.cr/handle/11554/4520 en info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess application/pdf CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica).
