CONDESAN’s technical team worked on an integrated monitoring plan, which was presented to and approved by NIWS supervisors; the plan was validated with the community in July. The validation of the monitoring design initiated the i) purchase of equipment and ii) hiring of consultants. 20% of the equipment has been purchased so far, including sensors to measure humidity and temperature, and a set of drills.

The second consultancy will analyze the effects of the recovery of puna grasslands on soil and water regulation. Next quarter, NIWS will finish buying the monitoring equipment and begin implementing the hydrological monitoring system in coordination with the community.
