Imperial river basin (chile)

The Imperial River Basin is located in the Araucanía region, in southern Chile. The original name of its main water course is Cautín (in Mapudungun), switching to Imperial during the Spanish conquest. Over the past decade, the Imperial River Basin has been affected by a long and severe drought, which has exacerbated poverty in the region and has triggered conflicts on competing water uses, such as irrigation, energy, tourism and forest plantations.
