Ulloa, A.; C. Quiroga, L. Gaitán & G. Damonte (2020). Producción de desigualdades en las relaciones con el agua: consecuencias de la construcción de infraestructuras [Análisis & Propuestas, 54]. Lima: GRADE; UNAL.

The construction of water infrastructure by itself does not solve the problem of stress and water scarcity in territories with large-scale mining and can generate and increase socio-environmental inequalities, conflicts and disputes in access to water. Based on the evidence of the case of La Guajira in Colombia, authors recommend that the construction of infrastructure should respond to forms of plural governance of water where its construction and management respond to the multiple needs of the territory and its population, and should promote spaces for participation and local decision making in which the management and associated local knowledge that support the infrastructures have been presented.
