“…Bauer [20] mentioned cultural and psychological attitudes as impediments to more active markets in Chile despite potential significant financial gains for poorer inefficient irrigators. Bjornlund [31] described Australian farmers' reticence to enter already established water markets.…”

“…According to the experience accumulated in Chile during the 15 years of market operation exchange activity appears rather different across regions, due to: (i) geographic characteristics and type of existing infrastructure; (ii) legal and administrative aspects; (iii) cultural factors and psychological attitudes of local communities; and (iv) prices and water value [20]. Likewise, in Australia the achievement of market expectations depends in part on stakeholders' perceptions and attitudes towards water trading in general and also specifically on their perceptions of the structure and conduct of the market [21].…”

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.

“…El caso chileno de gestión del agua es extremo y ampliamente estudiado. La razón radica en la existencia del Código de Aguas (1981), principal mecanismo de neoliberalización del recurso hídrico que genera mercados de agua, escindiendo del territorio al agua que sobre él o a través de él circula (Bauer, 1997(Bauer, , 2002Budds y Laftus, 2014).…”

editorial José Díaz Diego EditorEn el primer número del volumen 27 de la revista CUHSO · Cultura-HombreSociedad, editada por la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales de la Universidad Católica de Temuco, el lector podrá encontrar cinco artículos de investigación, tres avances de investigación y una reseña bibliográfica.De los cinco artículos de investigación, cuatro conciernen a La Araucanía y uno a Rapa Nui. En el primer trabajo, Samuel San Juan reflexiona sobre los contenidos, límites y alcances del concepto nación aplicado al pueblo mapuche, así como sobre algunos de los desaf íos que suponen sus reivindicaciones sociales y territoriales en el contexto de las complejas relaciones históricas y políticas derivadas de la ocupación chilena del Wallmapu.Por su parte, Hernán J. Riquelme aborda, a través del análisis de las pautas y circuitos de desplazamiento diario de estudiantes universitarios de La Araucanía entre sus hogares y sus centros de estudio en Temuco, la necesidad de ajustes inadvertidos en la reciente política educativa del gobierno chileno de permitir el acceso gratuito a los estudios superiores a los alumnos pertenecientes a las familias situadas en el 50% de menores ingresos del país que, en la Novena región, coinciden en proceder muchos de ellos de comunas periféricas con deficientes servicios de transporte público y escasas posibilidades de transporte privado.En tercer lugar, Dorian Romenns incursiona en las dinámicas socioculturales vinculadas al aumento de la iniciativa turística por parte de comunidades mapuches en y en torno a la localidad lacustre de Lican Ray, a orillas del lago Calafquén, que si bien no se abstraen en su totalidad de las lógicas mercantiles de consumo de productos turísticos diferenciados, del contexto neoliberal chileno y de las fuerzas homogeneizadoras de la globalización, logran plantear alternativas al desarrollo indígena, a la resistencia cultural y al reconocimiento sociopolítico.Alejándose del continente, Javier Corvalán y Kon Turi Atan aportan valiosa información sobre el estatus de la lengua española en Rapa Nui a través de las preguntas del Censo de 1916, llevado a cabo a escasos dos años desde la institucionalización de su enseñanza por parte del Estado chileno con la fundación DÍAZ DIEGO EDITORIAL 2 de la primera escuela en Isla de Pascua en 1914. Corvalán y Atan concluyen que el castellano, si bien de manejo incipientemente aun, lo era mejor por parte de hombres que de mujeres rapanui debido a la incorporación temprana de los hombres al trabajo asalariado y al ejército chileno a través del servicio militar.Cerrando la sección de artículos de investigación, Fernanda Carrasco, Rocío Droguett, Denisse Huaiquil, Alejandra Navarrete, María José Quiroz y Helder Binimelis analizan las expectativas y conflictos que surgen del uso de tecnologías móviles entre los usuarios cuando son niños, y sus familias, prestando especial atención, en el caso de estudio de una escuela municipal de Temuco, al surgimiento de nuevas normas sociales para la regulación de la convivencia condicion...

“…The water market in Chile is known for its free-market doctrine [49], with fully decentralized and deregulated operations. This institutional design for the development of water markets has allowed the establishment of an active market for water rights among users, which has enabled both cyclical and structural shortages to be tackled.…”

Abstract:In recent decades, the use of economic instruments has been promoted as a way to improve water demand management, required due to the difficulty of further supply increases. Against this backdrop, this paper analyses the potential of water banks as a type of water market that can provide institutional flexibility in the allocation of water resources among different users. Research has involved an extensive review of the literature, which has allowed us to identify different types of water banks that operate around the world, as well as an analysis of the experiences of water banks implemented to date, in order to assess the performance of this economic instrument in improving water management. This has provided evidence that water banks, if properly implemented, can be a useful tool for improving governance of water resources. Finally, the analysis has enabled us to propose a number of guidelines on how to improve the implementation of water banks in different countries around the world.
