“…This limitation refers to physical constraints [28] and supply reliability and flexibility of the delivery systems, and these are considered primary barriers to water markets. The potential for market activity is directly associated with the size of the trading area [29].…”

This research examines stakeholders' perceptions of and preferences for water markets in agriculture, focusing on the likely barriers that might refrain them from participating in such markets. The research was carried out on the Guadalquivir River Basin and involved semi-quantitative methods, combining a structured survey and focus group discussions. A very simple questionnaire was administered to each irrigation stakeholder (i.e., managers, water right holders and non-holders). The main result is that stakeholders will only keep selling water seasonally as the rights remain linked to the land. Nonetheless, some relevant differences among stakeholders were found. Managers seem to be more interested in selling water than farmers. Another important discrepancy was found between water rights holders and non-holders. Access to a water rights system, types of existing infrastructure, and legal and administrative aspects are also important factors influencing the acceptability of water trading in the study area. These results might be helpful to policymakers who are currently evaluating the potential for water markets in Europe and have little observable market data to work with.

“…Inter-sectoral trading has transferred water to growing urban areas in the Elqui Valley (Hearne and Easter 1997) and the upper Mapocho watershed, where water companies and real estate developers are continuously buying water and account for 76 % of the rights traded during the 1993-1999 period (Donoso et al 2002). Other studies have shown limited trading in the Bío Bío, Aconcagua, and Cachapoal Valleys (Bauer 1998;Hadjigeorgalis and Riquelme 2002).…”

Groundwater can be considered as a common-pool resource, is often overexploited and, as a result, there are growing management pressures. This chapter starts with a broad presentation of the range of economic instruments that can be used for groundwater management, considering current practices and innovative approaches inspired from the literature on Common Pool Resources management. It then goes on with a detailed presentation of groundwater allocation policies implemented in France, the High Plains aquifer in the USA, and Chile. The chapter concludes with a discussion of social and political difficulties associated with implementing economic instruments for groundwater management. IntroductionAs detailed in Chap. 2 and elsewhere in this book, groundwater abstraction has increased considerably over the last few decades for both agricultural and urban uses. In many parts of the world, government agencies have not paid sufficient

“…De igual forma, el Código de Aguas privatizó y permitió la apropiación del agua de por vida, separándolo de la propiedad de la tierra. Las actividades pesqueras, en el mismo espíritu, fueron desreguladas y entregadas a empresas privadas casi sin ningún tipo de limitación para su explotación (Arellano, 2013;Bauer, 1998;González, 2017).…”

Se analiza el contenido pedagógico de las luchas que las comunidades Zapatistas y las comunidades purépechas en México llevan a cabo contra del despojo y por la defensa de los territorios y el entorno ecológico. Se plantea que tales luchas de resistencia de los pueblos indígenas, en la medida que se orientan a la defensa del territorio y toda forma de vida que habita sobre éste, producen saberes y prácticas pedagógicas sobre los cuáles es posible construir, en los países del norte del mundo, una pedagogía transformativa que busque la protección de la vida a partir de formas de democracia densa y contra-hegemónica. El artículo discute una serie de principios que pueden orientar la práctica de una pedagogía crítica de corte ambientalista, democrática y emancipatoria, que aquí denominaremos eco/demopedagogía transformativa. Este artículo construye sobre los postulados teóricos de la pedagogía de la liberación latinoamericana y la pedagogía crítica norteamericana. Su base metodológica es la investigación documental y la observación etnográfica directa en las comunidades indígenas mencionadas.Descriptores: América Latina; Grupo étnico; Ciencias de la educación; Justicia social; Ciencias ambientales. This paper discusses the pedagogical implications of the struggles that the Zapatistas in Chiapas and the Purépecha communities in Mexico have been carrying out against dispossession and for the defense of the territories and the ecological environment. Such struggles, insofar as they focus on the defense of territories and all forms of life that dwell on it produce forms of pedagogical praxis from which we can learn and build, in the Global North, a form of transformative pedagogy aimed at stimulating the conscientization about and protection of all forms of life based on counter-hegemonic and transformative forms of democracy. The article discusses a set of principles that are meant to guide the development and practice of an environmental/ecological, democratic and emancipatory critical pedagogy, which we have labelled herein transformative eco/demopedagogy. This article builds upon the theoretical tradition developed by the Latin American liberation pedagogy and the North American critical pedagogy. Documentary research and direct ethnographic observation in the aforementioned indigenous communities constitute, likewise, the methodological basis of this article.
