The Gutapuri River in Colombia has been affected by droughts and human activities like construction contracts, water usage for sanitation and human needs, and deforestation. Construction contracts have been taking water from the river without limits, reducing its levels. Farming and construction activities have also been diverting the river's natural water flow. Deforestation at the river's source has additionally lowered water levels. In response, organizations are working to manage risks to the river by obtaining information on water usage and effects through monitoring projects. The government is also studying building a dam near the river's source to increase resilience to droughts, but has not taken action yet due to investment costs.

1. Risk Management and
opportunity
Final Project
Impact Of The Weather and Human
Activities

2. Gutapuri River
It´s a river located in Colombia, that is been affected by some
drought's and by the human activities like:
1. Constructions contracts.
2. Water for sanitation
3. Water for human needs
4. Deforestation
The principal point that will be developed in
these work will be # 1.

3. How is been afected the river?
Before After

4. Construction Contracts
Some contracts are taking the water from the river so they could use it
to continue with their constructions, these is allowed by the mayor of
the city that gave them permission to use them.
In fact to reduce the damage made by the
constructions some activities have been made like
the protection of the right border of the river.

5. Another construction issue is that the water from the river is been
diverted from it´s natural channel by:
 Farming activities
 Construction Activities
These two human activities are the principal cause why the river level is
going lower over the days.

6. Deforestación
Another trouble that the river have is the
deforestation in the river source, which make the
water level goes down.

7. Information Phase
To avoid been severely affected by the lack of the water
resource and the deterioration of the natural resources
there are some corporations that are working to manage this
risk and projects been developed to obtain information from
the river and all the issues that the river have to deal with.

8.  In order to get information about how have been affected
the river there are some projects that hired professional
personal to supervise the use of the water by the
construction contracts and the farming activities. Those
projects are in developing phase right now acquiring
information about how to enhance the use of water and
the affectation of the river.

9. Projects made to cope whit the droughts
 There is a Project made to have some resilience
whit the droughts, the idea is to build a dam in an
animal reservoir, that’s is located near the river
source, but it is a study phase by the government.

10.  The principal cause why the Project still is in the study
phase is because the investment that the government will
have to make to start the construction and to finish it also
they are considering to take away the permission to the
construction contracts and so the water resource will be
guaranteed to the population near the river for more time
than its could be right now.
 Action are needed now it´s time to the government to
take actions in this risk and avoid it´s probable shock by
protecting the natural resource.
