As part of the Urban Resilience Project in the Coastal Strip of Asunción, the “Master Plan for the Coastal Strip” includes interventions along the Paraguay River. These interventions, such as constructing housing on landfills and modifying the San Miguel Bank, may significantly impact hydraulic and morphological conditions. These effects could alter flood patterns, navigation, water quality, and ecological systems.
This study, conducted for the World Bank Group in collaboration with local experts, addresses the need to understand erosion and sedimentation processes in the Paraguay River near the San Miguel Bank.

Coastal erosion is a growing concern in Ecuador, particularly during El Niño events, which exacerbate its effects. The El Niño event of 2023-2024 poses significant risks to the Ecuadorian coast, prompting the government to seek sustainable, long-term solutions. Recognizing the Netherlands’ expertise in dynamic coastal systems, the Ecuadorian government requested advice on both short- and long-term strategies to reduce the risk of coastal erosion.
