Consequences of Drought on Subjective Weel-Being, Social Capital and Health in Rural Communities |Biomedgrid

Relevance of the topic and characterization of the problem: Chile is a country vulnerable to climate change and the impact has been manifested, mainly, by water drought conditions, which in the course of the last decade has affected the supply of drinking water in productive agricultural areas, especially small farmers, ranchers and small mining [1]. In Chile the Water Codedefinesthat the waters are national goods of public use,but the extraction and restitution of waters can be carried out privately, as long as it does not harm the rights of third parties constituted over the same waters [2]. Between the agricultural and forest sector, they occupy the 80% of Chile's water footprint [1].
