Producing energy, depleting water: the energy sector as a driver of seasonal water scarcity in an extractive frontier of the upper Orinoco watershed, Colombia
The headwaters of the Orinoco are being transformed into an extractive frontier and experiencing drastic water depletion in the dry season. We use the concept of water metabolism to illustrate the impact of the energy sector in a region typically identified with agriculture. Results indicate that oil palm irrigation for biofuel production together with the disposal of production water from oil extraction account for surface water availability being fully allocated during the dry season. We use ranges in water data and generate scenarios to account for the uncertainty generated by inadequate water-use regulation and limited data availability.
