Description
During 2023 and 2024, a basin-level module will be integrated into the Biodiversity Information and Monitoring System (SIMBIO), which will allow for open, freely accessible and online information on the country's main ecosystems in each basin, along with the declarations that make them official, associated studies, and an indicator that will characterize them with respect to the level of information available, to prioritize further studies, monitoring, and actions. During 2023, the processes of elaboration of secondary water quality standards will be concluded in the Bay of Nueva Quintero and the Valdivia River, which will allow maintaining and protecting the quality of the waters to conserve the characteristic ecosystems of the basin and safeguard the main activities associated with said basin. Also during 2023, the processing of 5 secondary water quality standards will begin and/or accelerate in the Elqui River, North Patagonian Lakes, Huasco River, Golfo de Arauco and Lake Lanalhue, and 2 decontamination plans, for the Maipo River and Lake Villarrica , which will allow the recovery of the levels of environmental quality of the water, established in the Secondary Standards of Environmental Quality for the Protection of Continental Superficial Waters issued.
This first platform will allow centralized, updated and specific information on ecosystems related to water at the basin level, which will allow progress in transparency and access to information for the entire population. Likewise, it will allow the evaluation of the ecosystem value of water at the basin level, and with this, prioritize measures in the studies associated with the Strategic Plans for Water Resources, for preservation and ecosystem recovery. There will be governance, information and a monitoring protocol that will allow the definition of the roadmap for the recovery of water quality, protection of ecosystems and maintenance of the activities carried out in the Valdivia river basin and Bahía Nuevo Quintero, in order to increase the surface of aquatic ecosystems with good quality. Progress will be made in developing governance, information and the monitoring protocol that will allow the definition of the roadmap for the recovery of water quality, protection of ecosystems and maintenance of the activities carried out in 5 basins in order to increase the surface area. of aquatic ecosystems with good quality, and recover the quality of two basins with degraded ecosystems.

We maintain a clean environment when we start putting waste in the designated places and do not burn plastic waste and release smoke into the air, which negatively affects the ozone layer, and when we bury it in the soil, it takes a long time to decompose in the soil, and this affects the groundwater
