Las mesas de agua como herramienta de gestión territorial participativa en el Chaco salteño

Abstract

This work analyzes the implementation processes of dialogue round tables related to the water problem, in the province of Salta, Argentina; and particularly in the Salta´s Chaco, in recent years. From the territorial management perspective, water round tables are described as intersectoral collaboration tools, which contribute to the construction of more equitable and sustainable scenarios. From the active accompaniment of a provincial coordination round table and the local round table in Rivadavia Banda Norte, the main achievements and difficulties of these collective interventions are identified. Personal commitment, effective coordination between the participating institutions, and political support take a leading role for the continuity of these processes and its effective incidence in the territories.
