Social and territorial dimensions of droughts in San Juan (18th to 21st centuries): a proposal for periodization

In this paper we have analyzed the main droughts and discussions about water scarcity in the south of the province of San Juan, Argentina, since the 18th century. From an approach that combined methods of historical climatology and a perspective inspired by hydro-social cycles, we pursued to problem...

From an approach that combined methods of historical climatology and a perspective inspired by hydro-social cycles, we pursued to problematize the naturalistic bias with which these processes have traditionally been interpreted, unraveling the representations and policies related to droughts in the San Juan River. In addition, the work made it possible to systematize basic information obtained from various documentary sources, a vacant issue in studies on the subject until now. As a result, a periodization of these hydrosocial processes in the province of San Juan is proposed, placing them in perspective with discussions of recent decades about the relationship of drought with global change, environmental vulnerability and uncertainties in water use. En este trabajo se analizaron las principales sequías y discusiones sobre la escasez de agua en el sur de la provincia de San Juan, Argentina, desde el siglo XVIII. A partir un abordaje que combinó métodos de la climatología histórica y una perspectiva inspirada en el ciclo hidrosocial, se buscó problematizar el sesgo naturalista con el que tradicionalmente se han interpretado estos procesos, desentrañando las representaciones y políticas relativas a las sequías en el río San Juan. Además, el trabajo permitió sistematizar información de base obtenida de diversas fuentes documentales, hasta ahora una cuestión vacante en los estudios sobre el tema. Como resultado, se propone una periodización de estos procesos hidrosociales en la provincia de San Juan, ubicándolos en perspectiva con las discusiones de las últimas décadas sobre la relación de la sequía con el cambio global, la vulnerabilidad ambiental y las incertidumbres en el uso del agua. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/RPS/article/view/11000 10.34096/ps.n5.11000 spa Instituto de Geografía "Romualdo Ardissone", UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/RPS/article/view/11000/9902 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/RPS/article/view/11000/9915 Punto Sur; No. 5 (2021): El agua en la encrucijada climática Punto Sur; Núm. 5 (2021): El agua en la encrucijada climática 2683-7404 hydro-social cycle environmental history water scarcity drought ciclo hidrosocial historia ambiental escasez de agua sequía Social and territorial dimensions of droughts in San Juan (18th to 21st centuries): a proposal for periodization Dimensiones sociales y territoriales de las sequías en San Juan (siglos XVIII-XXI): una propuesta de periodización info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=puntosur&d=11000_oai
