Book Description
El presente libro está dividido en cinco capítulos con los cuales se pretende mostrar tanto el contexto de la gestión del agua en Colombia como la caracterización de las formas de organización social para su implementación en cuencas hidrográficas. Los capítulos uno y dos presentan componentes de contexto considerados importantes para entender las formas de organización social en la gestión del agua, es decir, aspectos institucionales y normativos y la oferta de instrumentos de gestión y participación asociados a la gestión del agua. En este sentido, el primer capítulo presenta todo el escenario normativo e institucional existente en el país sobre la gestión ambiental del agua en la naturaleza, así como en el sector de agua potable. El segundo capítulo muestra la oferta de instrumentos de gestión y participación ofrecidos por el Estado colombiano tanto en el ámbito de la gestión ambiental como en el ámbito del sector del servicio público del agua. En los capítulos tres al cinco se exhiben por cada cuenca hidrográfica estudiada tres aspectos principales: el primero, tiene que ver con las características biofísicas y socioeconómicas tendientes a mostrar aspectos críticos reportados en estudios técnicos realizados por las instituciones ambientales y administrativas de la región; el segundo, reporta el deterioro continuo de las fuentes de agua, que aumenta la tensión de las relaciones entre agentes sociales que intervienen en la gestión del agua; y el tercero, destaca los resultados del trabajo de campo con los agentes sociales entrevistados por cuenca hidrográfica, para presentar desde sus voces, intereses, visiones; problemáticas, conflictos y soluciones relacionados con la gestión del agua en cada cuenca.

Pages : 131
Book Description
A bacia do Rio dos Sinos, teve um crescimento contínuo de assentamentos humanos e, sobretudo no último século, a pressão antrópica modificou a paisagem, passando de Mata Atlântica para terras agropecuárias, indústrias, cidades e uma grande rede de rodovias. Isto erodiu o ecossistema da bacia com poluição das águas superficiais e subterrâneas, com a perda de biodiversidade e uma diminuição na variabilidade genética das populações, o que também trouxe um efeito negativo sobre a sociedade.

Water Policy in Chile
Author: Guillermo Donoso
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 331976702X
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
This book offers a detailed examination of the main sources of Chile’s water, its principle consumers, the gap between supply and demand, hydrological droughts, and future projected impacts of climate change. It describes, analyzes and evaluates the performance of water policies, laws and institutions, identifies the main challenges that Chile needs to face and derives lessons learnt from Chile’s reform experience. Expert contributors discuss such topics as Chile’s water policy, and the reasoning which explains its policy reform. The book presents and evaluates the performance of the legal and institutional framework of water resources. It also describes efforts to meet actual demands for water by augmenting supplies with groundwater management, waste water re-use and desalination and improve the state of water ecosystems. The last chapter presents the editor’s assessment and conclusions. The case of Chile is illustrative of a transition from command and control to market based management policies, where economic incentives play a significant role in water management.

Pay
Author: Mark Smith
Publisher: IUCN
ISBN: 283170958X
Category : Water use
Languages : en
Pages : 113
Book Description
This guide aims to provide practical tools to non specialists-essentially water resources planners, river basin managers, non-governmental organizations and private sector operators. It links the most recent practice on payments for hydrological services to current discourse on integrated water resources management and looks into the different aspects to consider when exploring the potential feasibility of establishing reward or payments for ecosystem services related to water security. Pay demystifies concepts and jargon, and through a series of tools, case studies and stories from around the world, describes pitfalls to avoid and provides hints to fill gaps in knowledge. It is based on a demand-driven approach, linking text, tools and illustrations to key questions emerging from current and potential practitioners.
