Resumen
En el municipio de Puente Nacional, Departamento de Santander, Colombia, es común encontrar prácticas agrícolas tradicionales basadas en el pastoreo, el arado intensivo y uso de agroquímicos, mínimo manejo de excretas animales y humanas, proyectos minero-energéticos que degradan el paisaje, falta de comunicación y coordinación de los actores que utilizan el recurso hídrico; estos procesos derivan en la perdida acelerada de fuentes de agua, hábitats y nichos ecológicos lo que repercute directamente en el acceso a un agua abundante y saludable para la población. Este proyecto buscó paliar estos efectos sobre el sistema hídrico, por medio del diseño y acompañamiento de una estrategia participativa de ordenamiento territorial a escala local –predio y microcuenca- que permitiera articularse a acciones de defensa del territorio y ejercicios de restauración ecológica como una expresión de la gobernanza del agua. La estrategia participativa de ordenamiento territorial propuesta a nivel local se basó en tres fases: Caracterización territorial de predios y microcuenca a través del uso de los SIG-P y mapeos comunitarios donde se identificaron el estado de los cuerpos de agua, sus conflictos ambientales y sus potencialidades de restauración ecológica; una segunda etapa de priorización de proyectos comunitarios ambientales y una tercera etapa transversal a las dos anteriores, de acompañamiento a los procesos de defensa del territorio de las organizaciones sociales de base, como prácticas de otras formas de gobernanza que genera habilidades de análisis, planeación y gestión de los recursos de una manera concertada y coordinada.
Abstract. In the municipality of Puente Nacional, Santander, Colombia, it´s common to find traditional agricultural practices based on grazing, intensive plowing and the use of agrochemicals, a minimum management of animal and human excreta, mining-energy projects that intervene and transform the landscape, and the lack of communication and coordination of the actors that use the water resource; These processes result in the accelerated loss of water sources, habitats and ecological niches, that directly affect the access to abundant and healthy water for the population. This project sought to alleviate these effects on the water system through the design and accompaniment of a participatory strategy of territorial ordering at - local level and micro watershed - that allowed to be articulated to actions of defense of the territory and exercises of ecological restoration as an expression of water governance. The participatory territory planning strategy proposed at the local level was based on three phases: Territorial characterization of farms and micro watershed through the use of P-GIS and community mapping where the state of water bodies, their environmental conflicts and their Potential of ecological restoration; A second stage of prioritization of community environmental projects and a third stage transverse to the previous two, accompanying the processes of defense of the territory of grassroots social organizations, as practices of other forms of governance that generates skills in analysis, planning and Management of resources in a concerted and coordinated manner.
