The conurbation of the metropolitan area of La Paz/El Alto is one of the fastest growing urban settlements in South America with the particularity of being located in a very complex terrain at a high altitude. Therefore, air pollution in this region has a particularly strong impact on the atmosphere and the global climate.

The researchers concluded that models of climate change may be underestimating how much water is likely to run off the land and back into the sea as atmospheric chemistry changes. Either way, water resource managers need more accurate runoff estimates to plan better for the changes. Benjamin Felzer, Lehigh University.
