El presente estudio examina cómo el cambio climático afecta significativamente el diseño y mantenimiento de infraestructuras hidráulicas, cuyas bases históricas de planificación se ven desfasadas ante la actual variabilidad climática. A través de una revisión bibliográfica sistemática en bases de datos científicas internacionales, se identifican las principales transformaciones en parámetros hidrológicos críticos, como la intensidad de lluvias y caudales máximos, que exigen adoptar enfoques no estacionarios y diseños adaptativos. Asimismo, se evidencia que la frecuencia creciente de eventos extremos acelera el deterioro estructural, incrementando la vulnerabilidad de estas infraestructuras. El artículo resalta el valor de estrategias como las soluciones basadas en la naturaleza, el monitoreo inteligente y la planificación flexible para garantizar la funcionalidad y sostenibilidad a largo plazo. Finalmente, se enfatiza la necesidad de actualizar marcos normativos y fortalecer capacidades institucionales para enfrentar de forma proactiva los desafíos impuestos por el cambio climático en el ámbito hidráulico.
