Incremento de incendios forestales y por ende incremento de temperaturas en la zona |

Comments regarding the impact assessment:
La prolongada sequía ha provocado que la disponibilidad de alimentos reduzca y por ende que incrementen su precio, ocasionando más dificultad a la familia para conseguirlos.
De igual forma al no haber mucha cosecha (de café específicamente) la oportunidad de empleos para la familia disminuye ya que es la principal fuente de empleo de la zona.
3.3 Experienced high-risk times (during the year)
Which are high-risk times during the year and why? (E.g. in terms of growing season):
En este año a partir del mes de julio se fue experimentando la falta de lluvia lo cual se ha prolongado hasta la fecha, viéndose las mayores consecuencias o impactos a partir de los meses de agosto y septiembre.
4. Adaptive capacity
4.1 Modification of Technology
Has the Technology been modified to adapt/ further adapt to gradual climate changes and climate-related extremes (disasters)?
- No. If no, continue with chapter 4.7.
4.7 Suggestions regarding future adaptation of the Technology
What are potential measures that could be taken to further adapt the Technology to gradual climate changes and climate-related extremes?
Ampliación del canal para la captación de la caída de agua del techo de la vivenda. Actualmente sólo una de las caídas de agua del techo de la vivenda cuenta con canales para captar el agua de lluvia, el otro no posee canal lo cual hace que se desaproveche la captación de esa parte del techo del agua de lluvia.
Por otra parte se recomienda almacenar agua de otra fuente y usarla más racionalmente mientras llueve.

5. Conclusions and lessons learnt
5.1 Strengths/ advantages/ opportunities of the Technology
| Strengths/ advantages/ opportunities of the technology |
|---|
| 1. Permite obtener agua en tiempos de sequía o fuera de la época de lluvia tomando en consideración que en esta zona no existe otra alternativa de abastecimiento de agua. |
| 2. Disponibilidad del usuario para mantener y manejar la tecnología. |
5.2 Weaknesses/ disadvantages/ risks of the Technology and ways of overcoming them
| Weaknesses/ disadvantages/ risks | How can they be overcome? |
|---|---|
| 1. Almacenamiento de poca agua en tiempos de precipitaciones bajas, aún cuando es estación lluviosa dado la capacidad del tanque de almacenamiento (1.100 litros). |
Ampliar el sistema de recolección de agua de lluvia, ampliar el sistema de almacenamiento. Almacenar agua proveniente de fuentes de agua alternativa. |
