Escasez de agua: develando sus orígenes híbridos en la cuenca del Río Bueno, Chile

Abstract: Este articulo examina los orígenes sociales de la escasez de agua en la cuenca del rio Bueno, Chile. Se emplea el marco teórico de la ecología política para analizar la escasez hídrica como un fenómeno "híbrido" de carácter socionatural, destacando el desarrollo de un marco de "tipologías de escasez de agua". Utilizando una metodología mixta, analizamos datos hídricos cuantitativos y cualitativos para develar las tipologías de escasez de agua existentes, quién sufre de escasez hídrica y a qué factores se atrib… Show more

“…While many of these studies agree that this continent has the world's highest availability of water resources in the planet, they also emphasize that several regions face severe water scarcity conditions. For example, some coastal areas of Peru and Chile suffer from seasonal water shortages due to climatic phenomena and aridity [5,7], several southeast basins from Brazil to Argentina suffer from water stress mainly caused by intense water extraction from industries and socioeconomic activities [5], or some capitals emplaced in the Andes Mountains, which are subjected to water scarcity issues due to insufficient water infrastructure and high population density [4]. However, most of the studies regarding water scarcity in South America available to date present at least one of these limitations: (a) they have been developed only from a socio-economic perspective, and thus, do not consider the hydrodynamics of the river systems of the continent, or (b) their area of study is focused on a local scale.…”

“…The decline in groundwater levels has affected small farmers and several communities in the region that receive water for human and domestic use through the rural drinking water system, which is characterized by shallow wells with precarious infrastructure. This water shortage is also understood as a socially constructed scarcity, a concept that several authors have introduced to account for the fact that drought is not only a physical phenomenon, but also a social, political and economic one (Oppliger et al 2019 ). Scarcity mainly affects rural populations living in dispersed locations, who lack adequate drinking water infrastructure to adapt to these crises and to ensure domestic water consumption (Ministerio de Obras Públicas 2012 ).…”

“…La escasez hídrica construida social o políticamente que viven los territorios rurales (Oppliger et al, 2019) implica la fragilidad de estas zonas frente a eventos climáticos extremos, como la prolongada megasequía que empezó el 2010 (Muñoz et al, 2020), y que hasta hoy condiciona la vida y salud de comunidades y ecosistemas. En este marco, el grave y prolongado problema de abastecimiento de agua potable en comunidades rurales y comités de Agua Potable Rural (apr) llevó al cuestionamiento de la política hídrica nacional, de los modos de producción agrícola exportador y de su impacto local (Panez-Pinto et al, 2017).…”

“…El año 2019, más de 383.000 hogares rurales vivían sin agua potable, mientras el 15,4% de las comunidades rurales recibió agua de camiones aljibe (Fundación Amulén et al, 2019). Este sistema de distribución de agua para consumo humano es, sin embargo, un modo de abastecimiento hídrico precario, discontinuo y costoso, y amenaza el derecho humano al agua y la vida (Bravo & Fragkou, 2019;Oppliger et al, 2019).…”
