From geo-legal actions to a security territorialization of water Las organizaciones de usuarios de agua en la construcción de la escasez hídrica. De las acciones geolegales a una territorialización securitaria del agua Nicolas Artero, Chloé In the ideological and legal context of Chilean water, oriented towards the efficiency of water use, the existence of urban gardens in the north of the country is surprising. This article analyzes the role of water user organizations in the construction of water scarcity and a hydro-legal security territorialization in the urban gardens of Vicuña. Located in a semi-arid valley in Chile, the case is representative of canal water management and the intervention of irrigation organizations. From the legal geography, the relationships to law and space and the tensions that cross the boards of three water user organizations are analyzed. For this, qualitative methodologies are used (ethnography, interviews, observations, files). The power relations between water user organizations lead to the definition of three geo-legal actions (desmarque, increase in quota, absence of regularization) that produce water scarcity. To confront it, the leaders of the Community use the right to increase control over irrigation practices, leading to the formation of a secure territorialization of water. En el contexto ideológico y jurídico hídrico chileno, orientado hacia la eficiencia del uso del agua, la existencia de huertos urbanos en el norte del país sorprende. El presente artículo analiza el rol de las organizaciones de usuarios del agua en la construcción de la escasez hídrica y de una territorialización hidrolegal securitaria de los huertos de Vicuña. Situado en un valle semiárido de Chile, el caso es representativo del manejo del agua por las organizaciones de regantes mediante una red de canales. Desde la geografía jurídica se analizan, utilizando metodologías cualitativas (etnografía, entrevistas, observaciones, archivos), las relaciones al derecho y al espacio y las tensiones que atraviesan los directorios de tres organizaciones de usuarios del agua. Las relaciones de poder entre las organizaciones de usuarios del agua conducen a la definición de tres acciones geolegales (desmarque, alza de la cuota, ausencia de regularización) que producen la escasez hídrica en los huertos de Vicuña. Para hacer frente a ella, los dirigentes de la Comunidad de agua “Huertos de Vicuña” instrumentalizan el derecho de manera de aumentar su control sobre las prácticas de riego, lo que produce una territorialización securitaria del agua.

In the ideological and legal context of Chilean water, oriented towards the efficiency of water use, the existence of urban gardens in the north of the country is surprising. This article analyzes the role of water user organizations in the construction of water scarcity and a hydro-legal security territorialization in the urban gardens of Vicuña. Located in a semi-arid valley in Chile, the case is representative of canal water management and the intervention of irrigation organizations. From the legal geography, the relationships to law and space and the tensions that cross the boards of three water user organizations are analyzed. For this, qualitative methodologies are used (ethnography, interviews, observations, files). The power relations between water user organizations lead to the definition of three geo-legal actions (desmarque, increase in quota, absence of regularization) that produce water scarcity. To confront it, the leaders of the Community use the right to increase control over irrigation practices, leading to the formation of a secure territorialization of water. |
