Water

Today I went to forum about the water and I will speak about this.

In this forum the expositors were experts in the topic of the water: agronomic engineers, a sociologist, representatives of the RANQUIL (Confederación Nacional Sindical Campesina), and a journalist that he does a documental about this.
In our country exist nowadays an interesting and important debate about this topic because in the south there are hydroelectric projects that affect the natural landscape and to people that live in this places.

And in the north, the problem is with the mining companies, because these extract the water of the places that are important for the people and for your subsistence.

The most of expositors explain that this is a social, economic, politic and cultural problem that it has your origin in the normative because this is not specific about the water resources and this it enables that the economic interests of transnational companies are more important than the little farmers, for example.

I think that these reflections are important because we use this element every day but many times we don’t think about this.

This forum is an initiative of the project of The Popular University of our Faculty and his idea is to create a space where the different organizations have a dialogue with academics and students for to produce a common knowledge.
