ones that will be approached in order

to find opportunities for DW&PS

A Very High Water Usage Index

means that the ratio

Water Demand / Water Supply

Is more than 50%

Water Vulnerability IndexColombia

The Water Vulnerability Indexindicates the fragility of the

water system to keep a supply

of water in episodes like El

Nio

The Atlantic Coast and San Andres

along with a Very High Water Usage

Index have a High Water

Vulnerability which indicates that

solutions to improve its waterconditions might have a big impact

for the region
