1 COLOMBIA: MANAGING WATER CONFLICTS IN AN EMERGING ECONOMY Claudia Martinez Zuleta OECD Water Forum October 2011
2 Colombia in South America Oldest democracy 2 nd Population: 45 million 4 th Economy: GDP: US$288billion (2010) World Bank 3 rd Recipient of FDI: US$6.8 billion (2010) in oil & gas: US$2.9 billion (2010)* 4th Land surface area: 1.2 million km 2-50% Ocean (0.9 million km 2 ) One of the most biodiverse countries
3 First place in birds and anphibians COLOMBIA: a great potencial Eolic, solar and geothermal potencial Endemic flowers, fruits, species 3500 orquíds: 15% world total 80 native ethnic groups 642 indigenous territories equivalent to 27% of the total national territory Very rich in terms of Water Resources and global environmental services

5 Colombia has 5 major water basins Amazon Orinoco Magdalena- Cauca Pacific Caribbean
6 Colombia has a lot of water but with increasing scarcity in dry years
7 and water runoff in wet years is one of the major causes of natural disasters

9 So most of the water is used in the mountains or andean region
10 However most of the water is used by the agricultural sector WATER DEMAND BY SECTOR 7% 6% Agriculture 2% 7% Industrial energy domestic 4% services 54% 4% acuaculture livestock
11 Land use is changing.even though 40% of the territory has a legal form of protection National parks (10%) and forest reserves in addition to indigenous territories (25%) and collective lands (Choco) protect more than 40% of the country
12 With increasing rates of deforestation: hec / year Change in Forest Cover Deforested Forest Cover Non forest areas
13 However in a growing economy there are water conflicts MAJOR DRIVERS OF THE ECONOMY: MINING HYDROCARBONS ELECTRIC SECTOR AGRICULTURE INFRASTRUCTURE
14 Río Dagua (Valle) Mining vs Water conflict

16 Mining titles are overlapping water sources Protected Areas and mining titles Fuentes de información: Parques: UAESPNN Reservas forestales: MAVDT Páramos: Instituto Humboldt Ramsar: MAVDT Títulos: Ingeominas (oct/08)
17 with increasing conflicts Protected Areas, titles and request titles 8934 Titles requests for titles Ingeominas
18 Colombia has a very unique ecosystem: the Paramos. No of Páramos: 34 Total Area: 1 933,039 Ha equivalent to 1.7% of the national territory 70% of the water consumed by Colombians is produced in Paramos
19 But they are threaten by mining projects No of Páramos: 34 Total Area: 1 933,039 Ha equivalent to 1.7% of the national territory 70% of the water consumed by Colombians is produced in Paramos Area in mining titles: 106,118 Ha que equivale al 5.5% del área total de Páramos. 295,406 Ha equivalent to 15.3% of the paramos areas being requested.

22 ENERGY-ELECTRIC SECTOR Vs WATER CONFLICTS
23 The electric sector is mostly hydro Source: MME-CREG-XM The dependency of Colombia on hydropower makes the system vulnerable to water changes. Colombia relies also in its firm capacity (thermo power and other sources) at higher prices. 23% 77% 34% 66% 52% 48% Thermal Hydro Generation in normal conditions Installed capacity Generation in dry periods The Nino and nina phenomenoms affect Colombia hydropower capacity 18 de octubre de
24 with a system that assures trustful firm energy Lowest price per KW Se deben generar los incentivos necesarios para que haya suficiente energía firme que garantice la adecuada atención de la demanda. 23% 77% Very efficient economic system without environmental pricing La cantidad de energía en el sistema puede bajar durante períodos de escasez 52% 48% Nivel de los embalses en kwh Ending in several new dams with environmental conflicts 02 de mayo de There is an urgent need to manage water quality and quality in each basin

26 Agriculture and livestock vs water Agriculture is the main user of water resources. More than 40 million hectares are used for extensive cattle ranging; a main driver of deforestation and water deterioration
27 Colombian environmental laws include economic Instruments WATER MANAGING WATER SOURCES SUPPLY User fees (tasas uso) DEMAND Planning vs land use Institutional strengthening. Coordination Culture of payment for ecosystem services (PES) MANAGING SECTORIAL USES Program for the rational use of WATER SUPPLY Contamination Fees (tasas retributivas) MANAGING WASTE WATER National Plan to manage waste water facilities
28 However, the agricultural sector is not willing to pay high prices for water Payment for ecosistem services to the Regional Environmental Corporations
29 The current water tariff for the agriculture sector is insignificant Water Use Tariff =Minimum Tariff *Regional Factor RF= Water scarcity index+investment costs+index insatisfied basic needs $0.67/ per Cubic meter (in 2004) Less than 0.1% of the total production cost Recent studies show that the price should be above $15 pesos Rice Sugar Cane Oil Palm
30 With water scarcity due to rainfall reduction poor peasants are vulnerable Socioeconomic capacity of the population in the different municipalities Fuente de información: IDEAM (2010)
31 Colombia has major water risks due to natural disasters Shortages and floods in different areas and times. El Niño and la Niña effects : the whorst floodings in history Climate Change vulnerability 80% of endemic sickneses have an origin in the lack of clean water and sanitary conditions. The Magdalena River is one of the principal sources of contamination of the Caribbean sea.
32 How is the country addressing these challenges? The first Code of Natural Resources in the world (1972) Green Constitution (1991) Strong environmental law (Ley 99 of 1993) Decentralized institutional structure Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development in charge of water supply Ministry of Housing and Water in charge of water demand. Governmental Water Plans A Regulatory Water Commission New Integral Water Policy Water information system Watershed zoning and Management Plans Water sectorial payments, municipal transfers and economic instruments
33 Departmental Water Plans Financial System Fiduciary system Everybody puts resources Institutional coordination Financial sources Specialized operators transparency Components Economies of scale priorities Management board Municipios Departamento Nación Corporaciones Usuarios 100% Banca Multilateral Ejecución POI Fortalec. Institucional Subsidios Gerencia Gestión Ambiental Pago Deuda
34 Increasing access to potable water in many municipalities in the country
35 Colombia has a unique National Environmental System ROLES OF SINA Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development: Head of the systems; formulates policies and regulations; 33 Environmental Regional Corporations Implement policies Environmental authorities Regional coordination 55 National Natural Parks Administer protected areas 32 DEPARTAMENTS Promote and implement environmental policies and regulations at departmente and regional level 5 Research Institutes Produce and monitor scientific, technological and environmental information for SINA. SINA 1120 MUNICIPALITIES Promote and implement policies and regulations at local level 6 Urban environmental authorities Promote and implement policies and regulations in urban center bigger than 1 million people PRIVATE SECTOR AND CIVIL SOCIETY CONTROL AUTHORITIES Contraloría, Procuraduría
36 and an Integral Water Resource Policy INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHEN RISK MANAGE- MENT DEMAND QUALITY SUPPLY Water is a public resource, and is the responsability of everybody Human Consumtion is the main priority Strategic resource for the development of the country Assure regional diversity and integral management Water management structured by each river basin. Efficient use and conservation (saving) of the resource Equity and local participation.
37 that has derived in Innovative Water Funds and PES schemes Bogota Area: Water for more than 8 million inhabitants Valle del Cauca Area: domestic and agricultural uses
38 Water Fund for Bogota Private and Public sector partnership More than 8 million people National system of Protected Areas Two main Paramos:Chingaza and Sumapaz
39 Education - a public campaign importance and efficient use Protection - Protect Paramos Conservation - Sustainable management with peasants Reducing the costs of water treatment Management and Sustainable use of ecosystems Accountability and Transparency
40 «Agua Somos», will guarantee the water production and conservation of biological diversity of Paramos, one of the most important ecosystems in the country.
41 Agua Para la Vida Water for Life started with the help of the sugar cane producers
42 Water for Life and Sustainability The main funders are several entities Gestión de Aportes Organización Valor aportes $ Periodo INGENIOS AZUCAREROS , THE NATURE CONSERVANCY TNC , ECOPETROL , ECOPETROL , ECOPETROL , ECOPETROL , PAVCO , UNICEF , GEF - FEDEGAN - GANADERÍA SOSTENIBLE (Recursos BID) , USAID , CVC , TOTAL $ ,00 With 11 rural water associations in charge of projects
43 Water Fund for life and sustainability In the last 2 years it has proven success in terms of funding 12 projects cofinanced by association of users 1500 families beneficiaries of the project people drink water Total amount of the Fund in 2 years Col$ US$
44 Conclusion Colombia understands that one of the main drivers of competitiveness is its water resources. Institutionaly, water supply and water demand will again be managed in different ministries, assuring checks and balances. Managing watersheds in an integral manner is starting to happen at the regional level, in order to solve water conflicts. Pricing water effectively will help assuring sectoral equity and sustainable use. We would like to bring to the country only Green Investments that are willing to manage water resources effectively. The New Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development will have the power to establish more payment for ecosystem services schemes and to assure economic instruments. The Ministry of Housing and water will effectively continue with its water municipal plans.
