Talk:Choluteca river basin

Some quick comments

 * I suggest to move anything related to Honduras in general to the article WRM in Honduras
 * I am not quite sure how to deal with the overlaps between the article on the Choluteca River and this new article. One way may be to completely rewrite the Choluteca River article including a detailed section on management. Another one would be to keep the two articles separate and have all the information on the river itself in the article on the river, and then include a cross-reference to the new article WRM in the Choluteca River. I have a slight preference to have everything in the article on the river.
 * Among the three classical problems a river faces (drought, floods, water quality deterioration), can we establish which one is the most important one in this basin? I am not sure myself, but I do remember that flooding of the Choluteca River during Hurricane Mitch caused heavy damage in Tegucigalpa (mentioned in the River Choluteca article), so I imagine floods could be the most important issue. Data on floods and droughts (years, discharge levels, damages) would of course be very useful, if available.
 * The lead section still needs a lot of work in light of the above. I would always do it last when writing an article.
 * How many people live in the basin? How many live in urban and rural areas, respectively?
 * What is the water availability per capita and year in the basin in an average year? Would the basin be considered to be under water stress (less than 1,000 m3/cap/yr according to some)?
 * 1.1 km3 of groundwater sounds a lot to me. Is water really scarce then? The GW figure refers to the entire Pacific basin. Is this identical to the Choluteca basin? What share of water resources in the Choluteca basin are GW and what share is SW?
 * What is the level of reservoir storage in the basin (total and per capita)?* Hydropower:Stick to the Choluteca basin.
 * What is the Global Climate Risk Index? It needs an explanation. You may even want to write a brief article (stub) on it, based e.g. on this publication http://www.preventionweb.net/english/professional/publications/v.php?id=8658
 * The whole part on climate change impacts in the basin is confusing:Do the models predict an increase or a decrease in rainfall?
 * Do you have any information about land use (forest cover, pasture, agriculture etc.), changes in land use (deforestation) and erosion in the basin? Could be useful.--Mschiffler (talk) 17:11, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
