Binational Observatory of Lake Titicaca (OBLT)

​OBLT objectives:

• Develop research on the ecological and biogeochemical functioning of Lake Titicaca, in relation to global changes
• Implement an automated-routine monitoring to accompany the environmental evolution and verify the effectiveness of the measures taken
• Produce quality databases, updated and validated for the research of scientists, the taking of political decisions, to the service of the civil society (information, education, improvement of living conditions)
• Identify the sources and sites of contamination, their effects on water quality, water balances, hydro-biological resources and human activities
• Anticipate extreme events and control the eutrophication-induced climate and anthropogenic changes
• Design and test bioremediation approaches using the ecological engineering
• Become a model of observation, management and governance for transboundary lake
