The project “Impact of climate change on avocado phenology and native sclerophyllous forest according to access to potential groundwater in the Aconcagua River basin”, financed by the Crea 2030 Applied Research Fund of ANID, has as its main objective to determine the relationship between potential groundwater zones and the phenology of avocado and native sclerophyllous forest in the Aconcagua River basin.

For this purpose, zoning and phenological analysis techniques will be used by means of remote sensing and artificial intelligence. Thus, a zoning model will be developed using spatial statistics and a predictive model based on artificial intelligence, which will evaluate geomorphometric, hydrological and spectral variables.

This will allow categorizing productive and non-productive wells, in addition to generating a probability map for groundwater availability.

The results obtained will contribute to more efficient water management, both for agriculture and ecosystem conservation, providing key information for water use planning in regions affected by water scarcity.
