| Summary: |
The small hydropower plants (SHP) are considered
clean and renewable technologies. There is a plan to
build forty hydroelectric projects in the eastern part
of the Department of Caldas, of which four have an
environmental license. The objective of this article is
to analyze the environmental impacts related to these
projects and to demonstrate the social resistance of
the affected communities. The methodology applied
was qualitative with an interpretative approach
and the data were obtained through field work and
secondary sources for four years. It is concluded that
hydroelectric projects described as run-of-river are
not of low impact because they generate loss of flows
and water scarcity, violating the rights of the rural
population, factors that result in a revictimization
of communities that envision to live in decent
conditions in time of post-conflict, not only opposed
to these projects but also their actions and demands
are oriented to the governance of water in their
territories. |
