*******************************************************************************************

The links below represent the week's water news as represented by my Tweets. I do not pretend that this survey is a comprehensive survey of the water news; it's my attempt to keep my readers informed to the best of my ability and available time. Links will not appear in more than two categories (excluding the very first category). I have also added two more 'Daily Water Newsletters' to increase coverage. These are the Midcontinent US Water News Daily (#MCUSwater) and the Southeast US Water News Daily (#SEUSwater). The former samples news media within 500 miles of Kansas City, KS and the latter within Knoxville, TN).  With the other seven dailies this affords pretty good daily coverage for the USA.

Scroll down to 'Positions Open' and 'Previous Weeks' Positions Open' to see the jobs. All my individual job Tweets are archived at #JobWaWi. Previous weekly summaries are archived at:  #WaWiNews or click here. If a link does not work, paste the URL into your browser.

“Women in science are survivors. We are still here and doing outstanding work despite having to waste our time, energy and intelligence to fight.” - A reply to @Nature’s International Women’s Day poll

World Bank: 'What the Future Has in Store - A New Paradigm for Water Storage'

From the World Bank: 'What the Future Has in Store - A New Paradigm for Water Storage'

You can download the report here. (English, Spanish, French, Arabic)

Here's the blurb that accompanied the email announcement:

What the Future Has in Store: A New Paradigm for Water Storage is an urgent appeal to practitioners at every level, both public and private, and across sectors, to come together to champion integrated water storage solutions—natural, built, and hybrid—to meet a range of human, economic, and environmental needs for the twenty-first century. Closing storage gaps will require a spectrum of economic sectors and stakeholders to develop and drive multi‐sectoral solutions. The proposed integrated water storage planning framework is grounded in sustainable development and climate resilience, with the potential to pay dividends for people, economies, and environments for generations.

Key Messages:

As climate extremes escalate, water storage is becoming an increasingly vital tool for adapting to climate change, as well as other water-related challenges. 

• From drought at one end of the spectrum to intense flooding at the other, populations worldwide are experiencing climate events that are leaving a trail of human suffering, economic loss and instability, and environmental destruction in their wake. In some parts of the world, extreme weather is erasing decades of gains in human development in a matter of days.   

• Over the past 20 years, 1.43 billion people were adversely affected by drought (Browder et al., 2020). As a result of water scarcity, countries can experience up to 6 percent reduction in growth (World Bank 2016); for the poor, the negative effects can last generations.

• Over the last two decades, at least 1.65 billion people globally have been adversely affected by floods—an increase of 24 percent compared to previous decades (Browder et al. 2021; Tellman et al. 2021; CRED and UNDRR 2020). By 2030, projections suggest an additional 180 million people will be directly affected by flooding (Tellman et al. 2021.)

• Beyond extreme events, climate change is making precipitation less predictable and more variable, making the provision of everyday services such as reliable urban water supply more difficult, farmers less productive, and discouraging economic investment and job creation. 

• Water storage provides three major services: improving the availability of water; reducing the impacts of floods; and regulating water flows to support energy, transportation, and other sectors. 

• At the same time, the regulation provided by storage can produce clean energy, needed to mitigate climate change.  

Hydropower generation is also an important complement to other more variable forms of clean energy, balancing their integration into the grid.  Finally, pumped storage provides an important source of energy storage.   

• Freshwater storage is at the heart of adapting to climate change, most obviously by saving water for drier times and reducing the impact of floods. In the years ahead, the most stable, durable societies will, in many cases, be anchored in more resilient approaches to water storage. 

 

What the Future Has in Store: A New Paradigm for Water Storage calls for developing and driving multi-sectoral solutions to the water storage gap, taking approaches that integrate needs and opportunities across the whole system, including natural, built, and hybrid storage, to support many instead of few, for generations to come.

• Countries worldwide find themselves in unprecedented situations, struggling to cope with water-related disasters and grappling with how to develop, operate, and maintain water services. This report proposes the purposeful design of water storage solutions that underpin resilient, sustainable, even life-saving storage services that can mitigate the impact of climate-related disasters and close the water storage gap.

• The challenges that beset water storage planning are significant. Most countries have limited resources and must look for efficient approaches to increase their storage capacity. These include leveraging and maximizing natural storage resources; evaluating opportunities for reoperating, rehabilitating, or retrofitting existing storage, raising new, and reform (i.e., investing in institutions to manage storage better); and considering alternatives to storage, ranging from demand management to alternative supply measures for reducing scarcity to zoning regulations.

• Nature is a large part of the solution. More than 99 percent of freshwater storage on earth is in nature, yet it is largely taken for granted. There is a need to collectively recognize natural storage like groundwater, wetlands, glaciers, and soil moisture reserves as fundamental to survival and protect and manage them accordingly. Knowing what we have is the first step toward not taking nature for granted and unnecessarily depleting it, as many parts of the world have been for decades. 

• Water storage must be carefully planned. To help address these challenges and others, the report outlines an integrated problem-driven and systems approach to water storage (natural, built, and hybrid), including practical tools—from decision-making under uncertainty to integrated storage planning techniques—that can streamline processes, facilitate collaboration, and ultimately support water practitioners in delivering resilient, sustainable, integrated storage solutions designed to sustain generations. 

• More broadly, the report encourages water practitioners at every level to rethink their approaches to developing, investing, and managing storage. From decision‐makers at water ministries and ministries that are water-reliant, to engineers, ecologists, and academics, to project teams at the World Bank and other international development agencies, all have a role to play in adopting and applying the key principles that characterize an integrated approach to storage.

*********************************************************************************************
The links below represent the week's water news as represented by my Tweets. I do not pretend that this survey is a comprehensive survey of the water news; it's my attempt to keep my readers informed to the best of my ability and available time. Links will not appear in more than two categories (excluding the very first category). I have also added two more 'Daily Water Newsletters' to increase coverage. These are the Midcontinent US Water News Daily (#MCUSwater) and the Southeast US Water News Daily (#SEUSwater). The former samples news media within 500 miles of Kansas City, KS and the latter within Knoxville, TN).  With the other seven dailies this affords pretty good daily coverage for the USA.

Scroll down to 'Positions Open' and 'Previous Weeks' Positions Open' to see the jobs. All my individual job Tweets are archived at #JobWaWi. Previous weekly summaries are archived at:  #WaWiNews or click here. If a link does not work, paste the URL into your browser.

CRS InFocus Report: 'Panama - An Overview'; Hydrophilanthropy and My Relationship to Panama

June S. Beittel and Ramon Miro updated (17 May 2023) this CRS report: 'Panama: An Overview'.  

Download CRS_InFocus_Report_ Panama_Overview_17May2023

Panama’s central location in the Americas (linking North and South America), large financial sector, use of the U.S. dollar as currency, and transportation infrastructure—especially the Panama Canal, which connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans—make the country a global trade hub. Within Central America, it is arguably the closest strategic partner of the United States. 

Political and Economic Environment
Panama holds regular free and fair democratic elections and generally respects civil liberties and political rights, although corruption remains a challenge. Current President Laurentino “Nito” Cortizo of the center-left Democratic Revolutionary Party (PRD) won a narrow victory in May 2019 elections, receiving 33% of the vote in a seven-candidate contest. Cortizo’s PRD also won 35 seats in Panama’s 71-seat National Assembly; it is working in coalition with the National Republican Liberal Movement (Molirena), which has five seats in the assembly, providing the government with a legislative majority. Cortizo heads Panama’s seventh civilian government since the December 1989 U.S. military intervention that ousted the military regime of General Manuel Antonio Noriega.

Cortizo succeeded Juan Carlos Varela (2014-2019) of the center-right Panameñista Party. Varela served as vice president and foreign minister during the Ricardo Martinelli administration (2009-2014). The Varela administration pursued numerous corruption cases against Martinelli government officials, including Martinelli himself, who was investigated over irregularities in a public welfare program and illegal wiretapping and pardons. The United States extradited Martinelli to Panama in 2018; he was acquitted twice on illegal wiretapping charges, most recently in November 2021. In July 2022, Martinelli declared he would run for president in 2024. In January 2023, the U.S. Department of State designated Martinelli and his immediate family ineligible for entry into the United States under existing anti-corruption authorities due to Martinelli’s involvement in corruption in Panama.

In July 2019, President Cortizo introduced a legislative package of constitutional and public sector reforms intended to reduce corruption and improve public services. The reforms were largely sidetracked by the onset of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in 2020 and stalled after a series of nationwide labor-related strikes and protests weakened public support for Cortizo and the PRD. In June 2022, Cortizo announced he had been diagnosed with a rare blood disorder but said he planned to serve through the end of his term in July 2024. Should the president be unable to complete his term, under Panama’s constitution, current Vice President José Gabriel Carrizo of the PRD would assume presidential duties. The next national elections, both legislative and presidential, are scheduled for May 2024.

Panama experienced severe public health and economic impacts as a result of the pandemic. As of March 2023 (latest data available), Panama reported around 1 million confirmed COVID-19 cases and 8,609 deaths, a mortality rate of 199 deaths per 100,000 people—the highest in Central America. Panama’s services-based economy, which averaged almost 6.2% growth annually from 2010 to 2019, according to International Monetary Fund (IMF) statistics, was especially vulnerable to the pandemic-induced global economic contraction in 2020. The sharp slowdown in international commerce and shipping caused Panama’s economy to contract by 17.9% that year. Growth returned in 2021, with GDP expanding by 15.3%, and the trend continued with an estimated 7.5% expansion in 2022. Increased copper mining revenues, a recovery in private investment, and strong activity related to the Panama Canal are contributing to the recovery. Tightening financial conditions since 2022 have dampened expectations forGDP growth in 2023 to a projected 4%, according to the IMF.

U.S.-Panama Relations
Close U.S.-Panamanian relations stem in part from the extensive linkages developed when the Panama Canal was under U.S. control (1914-1999) and Panama hosted major U.S. military installations. A bilateral free-trade agreement (FTA) that entered into force in 2012 has significantly liberalized bilateral trade. Because Panama has a services-based economy, it runs a large merchandise trade deficit with the United States. In 2022, the United States exported $12.0 billion in goods to Panama and imported $523 million in goods, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce; U.S. services exports to Panama in 2021 (most recent year available) amounted to $2.3 billion, and services imports amounted to $1.3 billion. The stock of U.S. foreign direct investment in Panama stood at $3.5 billion in 2021, a decrease of 11% from 2020. The bulk of U.S. investment in Panama is held in nonbank holding companies at $3.1 billion, followed by wholesale trade at $736 million and mining at $123 million.

Under the Biden Administration, high-level engagement with Panama is continuing. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas visited in April 2022 to discuss migration. President Cortizo participated in the White House’s virtual Summits for Democracy in December 2021 and March 2023 and in the June 2022 Summit of the Americas held in Los Angeles. In July 2022, Panama signed a memorandum of understanding with the United States (after joining Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic in the Alliance for Development in Democracy) to strengthen supply chain resiliency.

Migration.Large-scale northward migration through the treacherous Darién Gap region of Panama bordering Colombia has become a humanitarian and security concern for Panama and the region (see Figure 1). Migrants in the Darién face widespread criminality—including sexual violence—and a high risk of disease and injuries. Large concentrations of migrants also imperil Indigenous communities in the Darién, which are unprepared to receive them, and in other ecologically fragile areas.

Many migrants pay smugglers to guide them through the most difficult parts of the land route and to enter Central America by boat across the Gulf of Urabá on the Caribbean Sea. Panama cooperates with neighboring Colombia and Costa Rica to regulate the flow of migrants through its borders and prosecute smugglers. However, the scale of migration in recent years has challenged Panama’s border patrol, which must devote substantial resources to registration and biometric screening of migrants and to rescuing those in distress. Panama estimates that over 250,000 migrants passed through the Darién in 2022, nearly twice the 2021 number. The majority of migrant encounters in 2022 were of Venezuelans, estimated at 150,327; followed by Ecuadorians (29,356); Haitians (22,435); Cubans (5,961); and other nationalities. According to Panama’s National Migration Service, 127,678 migrants entered Panama through the Darién during the first four months of 2023—a sixfold increase over the same period in 2022. The United Nations predicts that up to 400,000 migrants, including families with children, may travel through the Darién in 2023.

Panama has worked closely with the United States and other countries in the region to advance cooperation on migration. Panama is a signatory of the 2022 Los Angeles Declaration on Migration and Protection, and it hosts some 145,000 resident Venezuelans, according to the International Organization for Migration. In April 2023, Panama, Colombia, and the United States announced a two-month coordinated campaign to combat migrant smuggling through the Darién and longer-term efforts to deter irregular migration through the region.

Drug Trafficking and Money Laundering. According to the State Department’s 2022 International Narcotics Control Strategy Report (INCSR), transnational drug trafficking organizations use Panama as a transit country to smuggle cocaine to the United States and other markets, with up to 30% of cocaine produced in Colombia passing through Panama. Nevertheless, according to the INCSR, Panama is among the region’s most capable partners in countering illicit narcotics. Panama has improved its compliance with international standards for anti-money laundering measures, but, according to the INCSR, deficiencies exist in information sharing, risk management, prosecutions of white-collar criminals, and implementation of a 2020 beneficial ownership law.

Concerns About China. Panama established diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China (PRC)—and cut ties with Taiwan—in 2017. In November 2017, Panama became the first country in Latin America to join China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which aims to develop PRC-controlled global infrastructure, transportation, trade, and production networks. Then-President Varela touted Panama’s participation in the BRI as an opportunity to improve Panama’s infrastructure and its connectivity to Asia. These projects have raised concerns among U.S. military leaders that the heavy operational presence of PRC-linked companies along the Panama Canal may present a security vulnerability for the United States. The Varela administration also signed some 30 cooperation agreements with China and began FTA negotiations. Since then, the Cortizo administration has canceled several planned Chinese projects, citing their lack of feasibility and the failure of some PRC-linked firms to fulfill obligations, and has suspended the FTA talks. China remains Panama’s second-largest trading partner.

U.S. Assistance. The United States allocated $12.5 million in bilateral aid to Panama in FY2022, including $11.3 million in global health funding to build on Panama’s COVID-19 response; $500,000 for nonproliferation, anti-terrorism, demining, and related programs (NADR); and $725,000 for International Military Education and Training (IMET). For FY2024, the Biden Administration requested $1.2 million for aid administered by the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development, in addition to support for regional and global programs administered by those and other agencies.

My Relationship to Panama
This report caught my eye. My first hydrophilanthropic work was conducted in the Southern Darién province working with the Embera Indians on their comarca. I made a number of trips down there under the auspics of Lifewater International from about 1998-2000. In May 2000 our team, composed of Loring Green, Bob Jarrett, Craig Woodring and I headed to Panama. We donated a small LS-100 drilling rig, a supply of mud, 500 feet of 4" PVC pipe, 4 Bush hand pumps, an electric submersible pump and other assorted equipment. We trained the Embera crew on the operation of the rig, borehole drilling, casing installation and pump installation. We did not return for a second trip because the Embera warned us of FARC (Colombian guerrillas) present in the dangerous Darién Gap area. We left in May 2005.

Fast forward to 2009 or so. Loring Green emailed me to say he had been contacted by a Peace Corps volunteer who had returned to the Darién (the PC had left right before we arrived in May 2000. Turns out that our Embera Indian crew was still drilling and installing wells. I had hoped to get back there and see what was needed. I have never gotten back there I doubt that I will.
