Gran Hidráulica, usos del agua, geografía árida de Norteamérica, ocupación territorialAbstract
Este trabajo tiene como propósito realizar una primera aproximación al proceso histórico de ocupación
de la geografía árida de Norteamérica (1860-1960) que integra la frontera norte de México con el sureste
de los Estados Unidos. Se hace énfasis en el impacto general que en este proceso jugó la revolución
industrial y tecno-científica que la acompañó y específicamente el papel desempeñado de la Gran Hidráulica
en la explotación de los recursos hídricos a gran escala, habilitando el desarrollo productivo
y social. Como parte del cambio histórico se expone también la emergencia de un moderno marco jurídico-
institucional en torno al agua. Se cierra con la exposición de dos casos regionales para mostrar
las crecientes rivalidades por los recursos hídricos ante sus nuevos usos modernos y su explotación
intensiva, así como las diferentes modalidades de gestión resultantes y sus impactos en el largo plazo.
This work aims to make a first approach to the historical process of occupation of the arid geography
of North America (1860-1960) that integrates the northern border of Mexico with the southeast of the
United States. Emphasis on the general impact that this process played the industrial and technoscientific
revolution that accompanied it and specifically the role of the great hydraulic in the
exploitation of large-scale water resources, enabling productive and social development. As part of
the historic change is also the emergence of a modern legal- institutional framework around water. It
closes with the exhibition of two regional cases to show the growing rivalries for water resources to
its new modern uses and its intensive exploitation, as well as the different forms of management
resulting and their impacts in the long term.
