📋 Tender Overview
The actions contemplate the implementation of technology, the socialization of results and the involvement of the population and authorities.The National Institute of Research in Glaciers and Mountain Ecosystems (INAIGEM), an organism attached to the Ministry of Environment, since 2021, has been developing studies in the field of the Hydrographic Unit (UH) Nupe, covering the districts of Banos, Jesus and Queropalca, in the province of Lauricocha, department of Huanuco, within the imposing Cordillera Huayhu.
As part of the agreement with the Regional Government of Huanuco, the Risk Assessment Study was carried out in the aforementioned districts. After their conclusion, the results were socialized with the identified actors and the population, contributing to greater understanding of the necessary risk and prevention measures.
On the other hand, at the end of the year 2024, through the Directorate of Research in glaciers (DIG) and the Directorate of Information and Knowledge Management (DIGC) of the INAIGEM, the installation of a monitoring system in the Gangrajanca Laguna, a key step for the monitoring and analysis of the hazards associated with glaciers began.
In addition, during the first week of April 2025, the pilot of the glacier danger monitoring system with socio -environmental and technological perspective was executed in the UH Nupe. This system contemplates two fundamental components: the technological and the social.
From the technological component, the installation of specialized equipment that will allow us to understand the behavior of the lagoon has been carried out, collecting key data such as the water level and other essential environmental parameters for decision making.
From the social component, a rapid diagnosis is being developed that includes the collection of perceptions of the communities of Quisuarcacha and Queropalca, both belonging to the UH Nupe. In addition, socialization workshops have been carried out, transmitting the information generated in a friendly language for communities, in order to promote their understanding and active participation in risk management.
This effort marks the beginning of a collaborative work that seeks the direct involvement of communities and decision -making actors, with the aim of strengthening risk management and guaranteeing the well -being of populations that inhabit this hydrographic unit.
