Water conflicts in Chile - Legal disputes as a proxy

<p>Figure shows the location of water conflicts using legal disputes reaching both Chile's Courts of Appeals and Supreme Court.</p> <p>For this analysis we used all disputes where de Water Authority is one of the parts.</p> <p>Figure shows that the intensity of the conflicts was triggered by three factors: (1) The change in the Water Code in 2005, (2) the rise of Copper price in 2000, and (3) the increment in agricultural land in 2003.</p> <p>We hypothesize that the main driver for conflict is the increasing competition between agriculture and mining in North and Central Chile. This hypothesis is opposing the mainstream thinking that postulates that the main driver is the Water Code.</p> <p>We used a natural language algorithm to automatically extract geographic information from 1000 legal records</p
