The urban center receives its drinking water from iii water systems: El Alto, Achachicala and Pampahasi. La Paz shares the starting time and largest of these systems with its sister city El Alto. All three systems are fed past glaciers and rivers in the Cordillera mountain range. twenty-28 % of its water is fed by glaciers, the residual coming from rainfall and snowmelt. The glaciers recede every bit a effect of climate change, initially increasing water availability during the dry out season, just ultimately threatening a substantial decrease in dry flavor run-off when they completely disappear. A pocket-size glacier, the Chacaltaya near El Alto, already disappeared in 2008. The El Alto system receives its water from the Tuni Dam and ii water channels. These channels divert h2o that flows from the Zongo Glacier on the slopes of Huayna Potosi and from Condoriri North of El Alto.^[37] The 2.9 km long Zongo glacier retreats at a rate of about 18 meters per yr.^[38] The Tuni and Condoriri glaciers take lost 39% of their area between 1983 and 2006. According to a written report past the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), the El Alto organization is the to the lowest degree resilient against the impact of climatic change amidst the three systems. The study says that reducing h2o distribution losses is the most constructive short-term strategy to deal with water scarcity.^{[37] [39]} New water sources farther to the North in the Cordillera include the Khara Kota and Taypicacha, but they are expensive to develop and their h2o supply is likewise afflicted by glacier melt.
