Administración y gestión comunitaria del recurso hídrico a través de procesos participativos en la parroquia Tundayme

Abstract

Abstract: In the present work, the current situation of water resources in the Tundayme parish was analyzed, as well as its accessibility, which leads us to examine the administration and management scenario that it executes as a parish. A qualitative methodology was applied based on semi-structured interviews applied to actors and leaders of the parish, resulting in a perception of contamination of the resource, mainly due to the mining activity in the area and the discharges of sewage into the rivers; In addition, there is an irregular accessibility to water and an administration and management in unsuitable conditions. That is why it is intended to strengthen local capacities focused on community management based on the proposal to create a legalized JAAP and continuing with the strategy of co-management and creation of public-community alliances that involve the GAD, JAAP, centers support or NGO's and the mining company.
