| Sumario: | Within the context of the consequences of the economic crisis of the 1930s, there were multiple measures designed and executed in Mendoza to promote production. For this, it was necessary to improve the water network and expand it to other territories. One of them was the south, which would become a privileged space to carry out large water works. In this contribution, the policies and projects aimed at promoting the expansion of the cultivable area in the edge territory are analyzed. Before the south, Lavalle (northeast) was the scene of projects and interventions in order to increase arable land and achieve a fair distribution of water. The case also implies explaining fundamental aspects of the agency related to water (Departamento General de Irrigación), as well as considering its internal structure and its extensive links with the productive sector. |
