La Compañía de Jesús introdujoun singular sistema cultural-socialen Córdoba que influyó notablementeen la provincia. Los jesuitascontribuyeron significativamentea ciencias, tecnología, artes e ingeniería,creando sistemas hidráulicospara el riego y potencia hidráulica.En las Estancias Jesuíticas (Caroya,Alta Gracia, Santa Catalina y LaCandelaria), construyeron diquesllamados “Tajamares”, siendo losmás antiguos embalses artificiales enla Provincia de Córdoba. Aunquealgunos están en funcionamiento,otros cambiaron su propósito o estáninactivos, pero se mantienen enpie. Estos diques necesitan estudiospara evaluar su estado y garantizarsu funcionamiento. Los jesuitas diseñaronestas obras para integrarseal entorno con mínimos impactos,quizás debido a una visión utópicade aplicar el principio de la armo-nía en todo aspecto y razones prácticasrelacionadas a la construcciónde obras hidráulicas. Lo descrito esel punto de partida para planificarmedidas para su preservación, recuperacióny conservación, conformea la recomendación de la UNESCOde proteger sistemas hidráulicos enzonas patrimoniales. Con este objetivoel grupo realizó estudios hidrológicos,batimétricos, topográficos yde estabilidad en Tajamares de cuatroestancias jesuíticas que buscancomprender su funcionamiento yproponer medidas para su resguardoy conservación desde aspectoshidráulicos, estructurales y patrimoniales.
