Aportes de la educación popular ambiental a la ecología política del sistema hídrico en el municipio de Gámbita (Santander, Colombia).

Abstract

This research exercise problematizes the control, use and distribution of the water system in the municipality of Gámbita, Santander, based on the participatory analysis of political, ecological, cultural and economic aspects present in the territory, taking into account the importance of this in the production and reproduction of gambitre social life. Currently, water sources show deterioration in the quality and quantity of water resulting from agricultural practices that are predominant in the use of land. Although peasants and agribusinesses are those who maintain agricultural and agroforestry practices, it is social relations immersed in capitalist logic that configure political scenarios in which water inequality and the dispossession of water respond to geopolitical strategies of hoarding of natural resources and privatization of goods and services.
