A facilitator from Cooperativa Agropecuaria Nuevo Edén Limitada measures water quality in Santa Inés, Honduras, as part of USAID’s Building Climate Resilience Activity. Increased rainfall, flooding, and temperature changes due to climate change can lead to contamination or reduced water quality. By regularly monitoring water quality, communities can detect and address issues promptly. The communities are restoring watershed function, identifying point pollution, and ensuring a safe water supply despite challenges posed by extreme weather.
