According to wri’s aqueduct platform, the unesco site and its surrounding region in la libertad face extremely high risk to river flooding, a threat that is only expected to grow and is shared by more than 390 sites on the unesco world heritage list. Approximately 600 world heritage sites are highly exposed to water scarcity conditions — reflected in water stress or drought— making it the most widespread water related risk, threatening nearly half of all properties. Water risks — such as drought and flooding — are threatening many unesco world heritage sites around the globe. hotspots like petra in jordan, the historic sanctuary of machu picchu in peru and sagarmatha national park (the home of mt. everest) in nepal, are facing growing problems of too much water, or too little. Unesco world heritage sites, including the taj mahal and acropolis, are increasingly under threat from severe water hazards, a new report reveals.
