Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El presente libro desarrolla los nuevos enfoques éticos que se proponen desde el movimiento ciudadano por una Nueva Cultura del Agua, que fue capaz de movilizar a más de un millón de ciudadanos en España contra el Plan Hidrológico Nacional del anterior gobierno y que recientemente ha convergido con los activos movimientos latinoamericanos y prestigiosos sectores de la comunidad científica en el Primer Encuentro por la Nueva Cultura del Agua en América Latina. Durante los últimos quince años han crecido en todo el mundo activos movimientos sociales en torno a los muchos problemas que se vienen suscitando en materia de gestión de aguas. Hoy más de mil cien millones de personas no tienen garantizado el acceso a aguas potables, lo que motiva más de diez mil muertes al día, en su mayoría niños. Por otro lado, el modelo de desarrollo y de gestión de aguas vigente nos ha llevado a quebrar la salud y la sostenibilidad de ríos, lagos, humedales y acuíferos, abriendo perspectivas sombrías para las generaciones futuras. Las estrategias «de oferta» vigentes a lo largo del siglo XX, basadas en la construcción de grandes infraestructuras hidráulicas con una masiva subvención pública, han supuesto no sólo impactos ecológicos, en muchos casos irreversibles, sino también graves impactos sociales en la medida en que han motivado la expulsión de sus hogares de entre cuarenta y ochenta millones de personas por inundación de sus pueblos. Por otro lado, durante este tiempo el modelo neoliberal de globalización vigente viene generando fuertes presiones desde el Banco Mundial y la Organización Mundial del Comercio en pro de la mercantilización del agua como recurso y la privatización de los servicios de agua y saneamiento. Todo ello suscita hoy fuertes movimientos sociales, tanto contra el desarrollo de grandes presas y trasvases como contra estos procesos privatizadores, al tiempo que asistimos al desarrollo de nuevos enfoques de racionalidad hidrológica en coherencia con el paradigma de sostenibilidad. Estos movimientos, junto a un amplio y prestigioso sector de la comunidad científica vienen convergiendo, tanto en Europa como en América Latina, en torno al lema y la reivindicación de una Nueva Cultura del Agua que demanda, más allá de profundos cambios políticos, legales e institucionales, un nuevo enfoque cultural basado en principios éticos de equidad y sostenibilidad.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cuatro décadas de productivismo desbocado nos han llevado por caminos insostenibles de degradación generalizada, que nos han hecho olvidar el auténtico valor del agua, la verdadera dimensión de tan excepcional recurso. Un conjunto de razones obligan a dar un giro a las políticas del agua en nuestro país. Es tiempo de instaurar una nueva cultura del agua que dé paso a la eficiencia y a la imaginación, a la subsidiariedad y a la participación en la gestión, a las verdaderas cuentas económicas, sociales y medioambientales del agua, y a la concepción humanística del recurso. Los usuarios de los ríos somos todos. La nueva cultura tiene que acabar con la tergiversación de los conceptos actuales de “demanda” y “recurso”, con los que se ha pretendido establecer un panorama irreal de desequilibrios insostenibles para justificar la instauración de un gran estado de obras restaurador de un equilibrio hidráulico que la Naturaleza jamás antes tuvo. Son las apetencias las que hay que reequilibrar. Estamos obligados a instaurar la cultura del respeto y de la sensibilidad, antes de seguir destruyendo más paraísos, más patrimonios, y desarticulando más comarcas históricas… sin necesidad. Estamos en tiempos de economía obligada, tiempos de conservar y no de destruir. ¡Un reto apasionante!
Download or read book Planning Major Infrastructure written by Tim Marshall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the planning and policy world of major infrastructure as it is moving now in Europe and the UK. Have some countries managed to generate genuine consensus on how the large changes are progressed? What can we learn from the different ways countries manage these challenges, to inform better spatial planning and more intelligent political steering? Case studies of the key features of policy and planning approaches in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and the UK are at the core of Planning Major Infrastructure. This includes the different regimes introduced in England and Wales, and Scotland, brought in by reforms since 2006. High speed rail, renewable energy deployment, water management, waste treatment - all raise critical planning issues. The case studies connect to the big issues of principle which haunt this field of public policy: how can democratic legitimacy be secured? How can ecological and economic transitions be managed? What is the appropriate role of the national government in each of these areas, as against other levels? What part has the EU played, and should it be involved in the future? These are some of the central themes raised in this innovating exploration of this currently high profile field.
Download or read book Globalized Water written by Graciela Schneier-Madanes and published by Springer Science & Business. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalized Water presents a compilation of voices that forms a unique scientific exploration of contemporary water management models and governance issues. The book describes the water paradox—how a local resource has become a global product—and the implications of this in how we identify challenges and make policy in the water sector. Over the last 20 years, the foundations of local and national water systems have been rocked by a wave of changes. The authors in this book, experts in a wide range of disciplines, address the resulting debates and issues: water as a commodity and patrimony, technological rent, liberalization and privatization, the continuing evolution of water management and policy at the European level, decision making and stakeholder participation, conflict and consensus, and the inevitable growth of counterpowers at the local and international levels, promoted by the advocates of sustainable development. The selected case studies are from Europe (primarily France but also Spain, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Portugal), Latin America (Argentina, Bolivia), the United States, Lebanon, and India. From this diverse collection of comparative perspectives and research methods, Globalized Water seeks to advance interdisciplinary research, contributing to a new and dynamic role for social sciences and governance on water.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press’s Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. Virtuous Waters is a pathbreaking and innovative study of bathing, drinking and other everyday engagements with a wide range of waters across five centuries in Mexico. Casey Walsh uses political ecology to bring together an analysis of shifting scientific, religious and political understandings of waters and a material history of social formations, environments, and infrastructures. The book shows that while modern concepts and infrastructures have come to dominate both the hydrosphere and the scholarly literature on water, longstanding popular understandings and engagements with these heterogeneous liquids have been reproduced as part of the same process. Attention to these dynamics can help us comprehend and confront the water crisis that is coming to a head in the twenty-first century.

Download or read book Geographies of Mediterranean Europe written by Rubén Camilo Lois-González and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-11 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume highlights the geographies of six European Mediterranean countries: France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Turkey and Greece. The book provides a balanced overview on what the geographers of these six countries have investigated and reflected in recent decades. This thematically arranged book takes into account the national differences of the authors, but also highlights the main contributions of Mediterranean geographies on a global scale. It reinforces a perception of common problems and debates in Southern Europe. This book appeals to the institutionalized geographical community of Mediterranean countries but also to a global audience of scholars of geography, territorial and spatial studies, social sciences and history.
Download or read book Contested Knowledges written by Esha Shah and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2019-05-20 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water acquisition, storage, allocation and distribution are intensely contested in our society, whether, for instance, such issues pertain to a conflict between upstream and downstream farmers located on a small stream or to a large dam located on the border of two nations. Water conflicts are mostly studied as disputes around access to water resources or the formulation of water laws and governance rules. However, explicitly or not, water conflicts nearly always also involve disputes among different philosophical views. The contributions to this edited volume have looked at the politics of contested knowledge as manifested in the conceptualisation, design, development, implementation and governance of large dams and mega-hydraulic infrastructure projects in various parts of the world. The special issue has explored the following core questions: Which philosophies and claims on mega-hydraulic projects are encountered, and how are they shaped, validated, negotiated and contested in concrete contexts? Whose knowledge counts and whose knowledge is downplayed in water development conflict situations, and how have different epistemic communities and cultural-political identities shaped practices of design, planning and construction of dams and mega-hydraulic projects? The contributions have also scrutinised how these epistemic communities interactively shape norms, rules, beliefs and values about water problems and solutions, including notions of justice, citizenship and progress that are subsequently to become embedded in material artefacts.
