Waterwheels are proof of this, as they were invented out of the need to provide efficient irrigation of farmlands. Other cultures have enhanced their design and perfected their operation. Located at the heart of the Chilean central valley in theO’Higgins Region the waterwheels of Larmahue emerge as an objective articulator that link different political, social and economic dynamics, thereby influencing the constructed, cultural and heritage landscape. However, these waterwheels have suffered the unavoidable effects of natural disasters and unjustified human-induced damage reflected by negligence and abandonment. This material damage inevitably extends towards an intangible dimension and passes to the natural landscape. It is no surprise then the lack of resources allocated for the restoration of these structures. Hence there is a need to find solutions oriented towards the recovery and conservation of this ancient and recognized piece of heritage. Puesto a prueba desde tiempos inmemoriales, el ingenio humano ha creado verdaderas obras de arte para dar respuesta a condiciones adversas. Una demostración de ello son las azudas o ruedas de agua, fruto de la necesidad de conseguir un eficiente riego de los campos destinados al cultivo. Otras culturas han enriquecido su diseño y perfeccionado su funcionamiento. Y en pleno valle central chileno –región de O’Higgins– se puede admirar, hoy en día, las azudas de Larmahue, como un objetivo articulador de diversas dinámicas políticas, sociales y económicas en el territorio, influyendo en su paisaje construido, cultural y patrimonial. Sin embargo, estas ruedas de agua han debido padecer los inevitables desastres naturales y –lo que es injustificable–, los daños antrópicos traducidos en incuria y abandono. Los perjuicios en el patrimonio material se extienden, forzosamente, hacia la dimensión intangible y, de paso, hasta el paisaje natural. No es extraño que los recursos para recuperar estos bienes sean siempre escasos. De allí la necesidad de encontrar soluciones orientadas a la puesta en valor para su recuperación y posterior conservación de este reconocido patrimonio de origen ancestral.

Tested since time immemorial, human ingenuity has created true masterpieces in response to unfavorable conditions. Waterwheels are proof of this, as they were invented out of the need to provide efficient irrigation of farmlands. Other cultures have enhanced their design and perfected their operation. Located at the heart of the Chilean central valley in theO’Higgins Region the waterwheels of Larmahue emerge as an objective articulator that link different political, social and economic dynamics, thereby influencing the constructed, cultural and heritage landscape. However, these waterwheels have suffered the unavoidable effects of natural disasters and unjustified human-induced damage reflected by negligence and abandonment. This material damage inevitably extends towards an intangible dimension and passes to the natural landscape. It is no surprise then the lack of resources allocated for the restoration of these structures.
