Abstract

IRIS RODRIGUEZ, Corina  and  PAULA JACINTO, Guillermina. WATER RESOURCES: QUALITY AND MANAGEMENT PROCESSES IN THE PAMPEAN REGION OF ARGENTINA. Luna Azul [online]. 2017, n.44, pp.59-79. ISSN 1909-2474.  https://doi.org/10.17151/luaz.2017.44.5.

This work is aimed to analyze the groundwater resources in the southeast area of the pampean region in Argentina. A diagnosis of water quality in two rural villages of Buenos Aires province is presented through study cases. This work shows the ways of water use, the management processes and the potential impacts that territorial transformation could cause on water resources. The small rural villages -María Ignacia and Gardey - function as centers which provide basic services to the rural scope. Recent research works demonstrated that the links between these villages and the head city of Tandil have activated a set of territorial transformations whose origin and dynamic are not only related to the role of bringing rural services, but also are based on the demand of urban activities and stakeholders. The residential expansion and the presence of new land uses, as recreational and tourist activities, make pressure on natural resources and also press on water availability and quality for human consumption. These transformations generate new challenges for water management processes and its governance at local scope.

Keywords : Groundwater; quality; management; rural villages.
