Resumen
Descripción
Este trabajo discute y propone que los pequeños ríos y las tierras de la zona riparia se gestionen a escala local como una sola unidad para favorecer la gestión sustentable del agua. A partir del contexto mexicano y con referencias de aspectos legales y casos de estudio, se elabora una definición de pequeños ríos para explicar y comprender un conjunto de mecanismos de acceso que intervienen en el acceso al agua y la tierra. Las aportaciones de esta investigación buscan enriquecer la conceptualización sobre los mecanismos de acceso a la tierra y al agua para caracterizar la influencia que estos mecanismos tienen en el acaparamiento de aguas y tierras, transformaciones del territorio y generación de problemas y alternativas alrededor de los ríos en contextos rurales, periurbanos y urbanos.
We discuss and propose that small rivers and riparian lands should be managed at a local scale as a single territorial unit to favor sustainable water management. Starting from the Mexican context and by analyzing legal aspects we propose a definition of small rivers (streams) to explain and understand a set of legal aspects and mechanisms of access that are intertwined to have access to water and land. The contributions of this paper aim to contribute to the conceptualization of the mechanisms of access to land and water to characterize the influence that these mechanisms have on the water and land grabbing processes, as well as in land use changes linked to development problem issues. We conclude that alternatives around rivers can be applied in rural, peri-urban, and urban contexts.
