	International Water Power and Dam Construction
		Puclaro is located on the Elqui river, 40km east of La Serena and 500km north of Santiago.
		The decision was based mainly on economic studies: materials adequate for a CFRD dam were to be found in the alluvium of the Elqui river, which could provide all the material from within a distance of 12km.
		As the valley at Puclaro is 350m wide, the river was handled so that two thirds of the embankment could be placed while the deviation tunnel was excavated in the left abutment.

		In the heart of the region there is the Valley of Elqui, river made up from tributaries of minor gorges that only provide it with water during the winter, and which reaches the North of the city of La Serena.
		The main characteristic of the Elqui river basin is the abundance of underground water, which provides productive potential for agriculture.
		Towards the mountains, following the course of the river, is the vicinity of Vicuna, founded in the posthispanic era around the year 1821.

		The Rio Elqui is what defines it - it's about 170km long, from end to end, and drains an area of just under 10,000 square kilometers, from the high Andes past Juntas del Toro and the Argentine border (>6000m) to sea level at La Serena.
		Like some of the other rivers in El Norte Chico, the Rio Elqui is the lifeblood of the valley.
		In the Elqui valley, the water appears to be primarily used for agriculture (papayas, avocados, some citrus) and viticulture (most grapes are grown for pisco, though there is an increasing winery presence).

		A large proportion of the fine sediments is provided to the bay by the Elqui River discharges at around 29.9 °S. The mean discharge is 10 m3/s with greatest values of up to 50 m3/s in the austral spring and summer months of November and December caused by snow-melt from the Andes mountain range.
		This was in spite of the weak coastal discharge (~5 m3/s) from the Elqui River in the middle of the bay (~29.90°S), which influenced the density field locally.
		The density signal in the vicinity of the discharge was dominated by salinity because surface isotherms crossed surface isopycnals, instead of being parallel (Fig.

		We tried 4 different places but they were all really crowded with people so we ended up going back to the first one because it was along the river and we asked if we could cross the river to camp on the other side.
		Surprisingly they said yes which was really cool cause we ended up with the whole other side of the river to ourselves, not to mention the fact that we had the mountain behind us which we would end up climbing later.
		The pictures really don't do it justice for showing how steep and dangerous it was but it was well worth the risk as when we climbed it at night and watched the moon set behind the mountains, that must have been one of the most spectacular things I've ever seen.

		In 2004, a 16-member research team of Canadians and Chileans received $2.45 million from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) for a five-year study of the capacity of institutions in two dryland regions to adapt to the impacts of climate change.
		The South Saskatchewan River Basin in western Canada and the Elqui River Basin of north- central Chile are at different stages of social and environmental vulnerability.
		Both regions have a dry climate adjacent to a major mountain system and landscapes at risk of desertification, as well as an agricultural economy dependent on irrigation water derived from mountain snow and glaciers.

		The dam was built to prevent the cycle of flooding and drought experienced by the valley.
		Perhaps the most exciting aspect of my whole dam experience thus far is the stark contrast in views from the non-reservoir side of the dam and the reservoir side of the dam.
		We then proceeded to walk to the top of the dam, where we got our first glimpse of the reservoir side, “Wow!” Maria and Jenilee, if not the whole class, were noticeably surprised by the stark contrast between the non-reservoir and reservoir side of the dam.

		Pisco Elqui clings to steep slopes above a branch of the Elqui river.
		Though the main crop here is the muscat grapes used to make most of Chile's finest Pisco (a South American brandy), the Elqui Valley is also Chile's prime tropical fruit growing region, with chirimoya, papaya, figs, etc. growing in profusion in the irrigated valley.
		Later in the day, I went back down the valley to the larger town of Vicuña, where I stayed in a residencial that had an idyllic yard in back - surrounded by high adobe walls, it had a small irrigation ditch running through, and was filled with tropical and subtropical fruit trees, flowers, and vegetables.
