Migration is often the last resort for rural communities facing water stress problems . In Bolivia, glacial retreat has not triggered new migration flows and had a limited impact on the existing migratory patterns . In SA, climatic variability increases the likelihood of interprovince migration, rather than trapping populations. In a study of interprovincial migration motivated by temperature, an exception arose in Bolivia, and even if that could suggest an immobilised population , it is not clear whether they want to stay and adapt. In some cases, people want to move but wait for relocation until after the climate-related disasters have subsided .
