| dc.description.abstract | Although Latin American and the Caribbean is considered a water-rich region by many metrics, a large percentage of its population is surprisingly vulnerable to water risk. This document provides a summary of a recent technical note published by the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB) entitled, “Scarcity in the Land of Plenty”, which identifies populations living in areas vulnerable to various components of water stress and offers solutions going foward. |
