Dominican Republic restoring land to secure clean water for millions---AWWA C213 FBE Coated Steel Water Pipes.
In a tropical island nation, the main river’s flow varies by 80% between dry and wet seasons, compared to a healthier 20% fluctuation in preserved watersheds. The Northern Yaque River in the Dominican Republic faces severe pressure, with 96% of its water fully utilized. Over the past 15 years, partnerships among various sectors have developed effective land and water management strategies, benefiting 1.8 million people and enhancing drought resilience in the watershed, which covers 14.6% of the country.
The Plan for the Development of the Northern Yaque Watershed (Plan Yaque) unites 32 civil society and governmental institutions to reforest, train farmers, and treat wastewater, enhancing water security. As a technical advisor to the Northern Yaque Water Fund, Plan Yaque supports this financial mechanism, launched in 2015, which gathers 27 partners, including government, universities, and major water users. The Fund secures private sector investment by emphasizing sustainable water management as a critical business investment. Profits support nature-based water security solutions, ensuring financial sustainability.
For Estévez, measurable results, financial accountability, and transparency have been crucial in earning partners' trust. They began with low-cost, high-impact, science-based projects to demonstrate success early on. Growing the fund remains essential for scaling successful strategies and supporting new initiatives, such as training lowland farmers to conserve soil and improve water use efficiency.
A key intervention in the watershed is the creation of artificial wetlands by Plan Yaque, an NGO. These low-tech, low-maintenance systems use natural processes to treat wastewater, removing over 90% of pollutants before releasing the water into the river. So far, 34 have been built, offering a transformative solution for rural communities and addressing water pollution, a major threat to water security. The system requires minimal upkeep, with communities handling maintenance themselves.
