De la gobernabilidad a la gobernanza del agua: reflexión para el acceso al agua en Colombia en el marco de los ODS

Abstract

This reflection article is an analysis of the management scenarios for access to water from a state and community context in Colombia, within the international framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). An international panorama is approached in which water is conceived as a resource subject to commodification, as well as a human right for different social causes. At the same time, at a national level, different logics of water accessibility and management were identified, subject to different ways of conceiving it: in the state framework, from governability as a natural resource, and in the community framework, from the case studies Rovira - Tolima and Patía - Cauca, as a common good. Finally, this article through a qualitative methodological approach, which was applied as investigative tools, semi-structured interviews and documentary analysis, proposes before the notable differentiation of the notions, perceptions and actions identified, water governance as a balanced and horizontal model for decision-making within management for access to water in Colombia, in order to progressively achieve the SDGs.
