Another collaborative effort is taking place across Latin America, through a public-private partnership between PepsiCo, the PepsiCo Foundation and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). The PepsiCo Foundation and the IDB teamed up in 2014 to address the mismatch between water supply and demand with Hydro-BID, a ground-breaking water resource data management and modeling tool that estimates the availability of freshwater in water-scarce regions, giving municipalities the ability to better govern water resources. To date, HydroBID has been implemented in Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Guatemala, and Peru, and is currently being implemented in Mexico, Paraguay, and Panama. All country implementations involve building the capacity of the local staff through: (i) providing hands-on training in HydroBID and other tools related to IWRM to hydrologists and other technical staff who will oversee the modeling; (ii) the hydrological database that includes the Analytical Hydrography Data set (AHD); and (iii) providing training for the use of the new modules for specialized analysis (e.g. reservoir, sediments, and groundwater) of selected watersheds. Programs like these work because they are rooted in a deep understanding of the needs of local communities, and executed in collaboration with local partners. Hydro-BID is responding to the challenges faced by governments, water utilities, the private sector, and other water stakeholders related to lack of information, reliable data, and tools - helping us all plan and make better decisions for the sustainable management of water.
