1. Two communal irrigation systems supply family farms in two micro-watersheds. ($727,215) At least 880 rainwater collection and storage facilities supply family farms in eight micro-watersheds. ($1,650,000) At least 1000 farm families organized and trained in management, efficient use and maintenance of their communal and individual irrigation systems and water storage facilities. ($100,000)

2. At least 1000 farm families with agro-ecological farm transformation plans and using their own resources and available credit for their ongoing implementation. ($132,985) At least 140 hectares converted to water-conscious and climate resilient agro-ecological production in each micro-watershed. ($1,069,800) At least 50 protected hectares in water system recharge areas and riparian zones

3. Local organizations in eight micro-watersheds prepare and implement climate resilient management plans to increase water retention, soil conservation and food security. ($350,000) Inter-institutional coordinating bodies in El Sauce, Achuapa, and Villanueva coordinate governmental and non-governmental agency work plans in the micro-watersheds in the Villanueva River basin. ($40,000) Validated proposals for normative instruments to build climate change resilience and for the operation of a Villanueva River sub-watershed committee. Nine municipalities in the Estero Real River basin incorporate climate change adaptation measures in their land use, investment and water use plans and related normative instruments. ($10,000)

4. A hydrological study of the lower part of the Villanueva River basin, identifying the hydraulic works needed to reduce the flooding caused by sediments from the upper watershed. ($120,000) Ongoing participatory monitoring of water flows and quality, soil conditions, and land use changes. ($130,000) Electronic information posts in each targeted micro-watershed present relevant national and global climate information, digitalize local monitoring data, and prepare maps of land use, water flow and soil quality changes for farm families, local organizations and users of the National Environmental Information System (SINIA). ($190,000)
