The drought affecting Chile since 2010 has led the government to take emergency measures in order to help farmers and ranchers. According to information published by the General Directorate of Water of the Ministry of Public Works of Chile, as of November 2020, 16 water shortage decrees are in force in 79 communes, concentrated in the Valparaíso and Metropolitan regions.
