Groundwater (GW) is the primary source of unfrozen freshwater on planet and in many semi-arid areas, it only water available during low-water periods. In north-central Chile, there has been GW depletion as a result conditions high demand, which unleashed major social conflicts, some due to drought others agribusiness practices against backdrop private management model.

Natural disasters can cause abrupt disturbances in coastal wetlands, affecting the social perception of ecosystem services (ES). The Tubul-Raqui wetland is one most important wetlands south-central Chile. Rich biodiversity, these provide ES to a population 2238 inhabitants. recent MW = 8.8 earthquake 2010 caused uplift 1.4 m and substantial morphological, social, environmental changes. This paper analyzes perceptions inhabitants village following large disturbance with regards provision...
