Colombia’s agriculture faces a range of water risks, from floods, drought and poor water quality to systemic risks of damaged freshwater systems and a destabilised water cycle. This case study explores Colombia’s approach to monitoring and anticipating water risks to agriculture. It finds that Colombia monitors a range of water-related hazards, but coverage remains uneven across regions and water resources. Colombia is equipped with several water-related risk tools, such as flood and drought risk maps and seasonal weather forecasting products. Further efforts are needed to tailor these products for use in agricultural decision making, develop a more holistic view of water risks to the sector, and move beyond hazard identification towards impact assessment at a more granular scale.
