Water management and monitoring efforts are being coordinated across different regions in Argentina to mitigate meteorological risks.

In the Buenos Aires province, the Salado River Basin Committee met to discuss strategies for managing water levels in anticipation of the El Niño phenomenon. Officials, including the president of the Water Authority (ADA), reviewed groundwater behavior and addressed the issue of unauthorized hydraulic works. To manage irregular structures and runoff, authorities introduced the Hydraulic Works Regularization Program for Municipalities.

In Santiago del Estero, the Productive Development Executive Unit (UEDP) has begun monitoring groundwater in the Balderrama Basin. By utilizing piezometers in the Monteros and Simoca departments, authorities aim to track water table dynamics to provide data for future flood mitigation projects affecting farms, rural roads, and residential areas.
