    Författare :Ramiro Pillco; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ENSO; terminal lake; bathymetry; lake level; water balance; lake routing; paleolakes; climate change; precipitation pattern; intermittent rivers.; Desaguadero River; Lake Titicaca; Lake Poopó;

    Sammanfattning : The Bolivian Altiplano is situated between two mountain ranges, the western and eastern central Andes in South America. It has two major lakes, Lake Titicaca to the north, and Lake Poopó to the south, which both are important for the nature as well as for the living conditions on the Altiplano. The two lakes are the remnants of large paleolakes. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Symbolic and Material Boundaries : An archaeological genealogy of the Urus of Lake Poopó, Bolivia

    Författare :Virginia Sáenz; Frands Herschend; Paul Sinclair; Per Stenborg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Archaeology; Indians; Andes; Bolivia; Lake Poopó; Pampa Aullagas; Uru; ethnic groups; ethnic markers; Anthropology; History; Archaeology; Architecture; Linguistics; Sociology; multi-disciplinary approach; Arkeologi; arkeologi; Archaeology;

    Sammanfattning : The thesis focuses on Bolivian Indians who are assimilated into ethnic groups as one of many consequences of the colonial past. An understanding of the complexity of this construction draws from disciplines such as Anthropology, Archaeology, History, Sociology, in an effort to expose the power relations behind the construction.

    Nyckelord :poverty; institutional arrangements; Bolivian Altiplano; Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis; Water conflict; Lake Poopo; IWRM strategy; local capacity building.;

    Sammanfattning : The Lake Poopo basin, located on the Bolivian Altiplano, is extremely vulnerable to environmental degradation. The basin displays extreme spatial and temporal variations of water resources and rapidly decreasing water quality due to anthropogenic and natural pollution. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Transport of Arsenic and Heavy Metals to Lake Poopó - Bolivia Natural Leakage and Anthropogenic Effects

    Författare :Maria Garcia Moreno; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hydrogeology; Naturvetenskap; Natural science; Miljöstudier; Environmental studies; Poopó Lake; heavy metals; Bolivia; geographical and geological engineering; Hydrogeologi; teknisk geologi; teknisk geografi;

    Sammanfattning : Bolivia, a country located in the center of South America, has in the west part an Andean region, where the Poopó Lake is located. The area has many mineral resources, and thus since thousands of years,mining activity has had a large importance; however, mainly since colonial times, the extraction of these resources has been indiscriminate and the region of the Poopó Lake, has suffered the consequences of environmental contamination.

  7. 5. Hydrogeochemistry and spatial variability of arsenic and other trace elements in the Lower Katari Basin around Lake Titicaca, Bolivian Altiplano. : Impact on drinking water quality and groundwater management

    Författare :Israel Quino Lima; Prosun Bhattacharya; Jerker Jarsjö; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Arsenic; trace elements; multivariate analysis; spatial variability; hydrogeology; spatio-temporal variability; Lower Katari Basin; Bolivian Altiplano; alluvial sediments; Arsenik; spårelement; multivariat analys; rumslig variabilitet; hydrogeologi; spatio-temporär variation; Nedre Katari-bassängen; Bolivian Altiplano; alluviala sediment; Land and Water Resources Engineering; Mark- och vattenteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Arsenic (As) contamination in drinking water is a world-wide problem. Thenatural origin of As, its mobility and transport are of great interest in BolivianAltiplano (Lower Katari Basin: LKB and Sothern Poopó Basin: SPB) due topresence of mineral ore deposits, brines, hot springs and volcanic rocks.
