Descripción
Sumario:In José de la Quintana, the Hidroeléctrica San José Cooperativa Ltda. is the local institution that provides drinking water service to the inhabitants within its area of influence that represents the inhabitants. Faced with the fact that the town is not formally constituted as a commune, the Hydroelectric stands as one of the fundamental actors in the governance of the territory and resources, in a framework of rapid population growth, a natural environment with high conservation value, and a complex social context. Through an analysis of this complexity, which combined methods such as documentary review, surveys, semi-structured interviews, and a participatory workshop, multiple challenges were identified —although also opportunities— for the cooperative management of the drinking water service in José de la Quintana. The present work sought to generate guidelines to improve the governance of the drinking water service based on participatory planning and co-management, with a view to solving potential collective problems and strengthening the dynamics of the cooperative management of the resource. This enabled to infer the possibility and need to intervene, through the aforementioned institution, in the social, political and administrative fabric of the territory, with the management of the drinking water service as an entry point.
