Resumen:
In arid and semi-arid regions, adaptation to global environmental change faces urgent challenges relating both to interdisciplinary research and science-policy dialogues. It is not only hydroclimatological changes but also social and economic processes water resource consuming and political-institutional issues that unfold in the short, medium and long terms, with impacts and possibilities still insufficiently explored. Based in the case of Mendoza, in central-western Argentina, this paper gathers scientists and policy makers in accounting for joint long-term phenomena, such as climatic aridity, medium-term ones such as institutional and public policies and acute situations as the extreme hydrological drought that have being experienced in Mendoza since 2010 leading to the declaration of a water crisis. On this current scenario we identify ecosystemic and social exposures and specific risks associated to them for finally advance in a science-policy dialogue that enables a diagnose of the adaptive capacities and promotes future adaptation responses to be adopted for achieving water security.
