Acequia report: climate change, droughts and water uses

This report is one of the outcomes of the Acequia ‘Climate change, droughts and water uses in Gran Canaria’ workshop, and has a twofold objective.

• Firstly, it summarises the main conclusions obtained in the Acequia workshop and
• secondly, it also aims to move a step forward in proposing more detailed actions to tackle drought risks in Gran Canaria by means of co-creation practices.

This report will be adopted by the Council of Gran Canaria, as well as the island’s municipalities that have become signatories of the Covenant of Mayors.

The report is structured as follows:

• Section 2 will present the case study, with a description of why Gran Canaria deserves to be analysed
• Section 3 is devoted to presenting the methods applied in this 3-day workshop
• Section 4 presents the results obtained, including a list of actions
• Section 5 will discuss the results
