In the current context of global crisis - water crisis, territorial management becomes a multidimensional challenge that responds to imbalances in the society-nature relationship. In fact, many authors agree that a systemic, integral and non-dualistic vision is the way to address the environmental problems of our time. Understanding sociocultural and territorial dynamics in a spatio-temporal context offers the possibility of a critical analysis of the water power exercised over space by societies.

In this book, the authors offer the reader a methodology to address environmental issues and territorial management from a spatial analysis applied to Colombian hydrographic areas. Showing, of course, the differentiated impact of policies in a multi-scale manner.

The authors travel through the macro-watersheds of the Caribbean, the Pacific, the Magdalena-Cauca, passing through the Orinoco and reaching the Amazon, to point out not only the great ecological richness of the Colombian territory but also the environmental problems that converge there, product of the different forms of social appropriation of the territory in the Colombian geography.
