Lineamientos de política pública para la gestión del agua en el municipio de Filandia-Quindío

Abstract

This paper presents in detail the results of the research on a proposal of public policy for the Municipality of Filandia, Quindio. The objective of the research was to propose public policy guidelines for water management in the Municipality of Filandia, for which a research question was established as follows: Were the actions of the municipal, and the departmental administration and of the environmental authority beneficial for the general interest of the population and of the strategic ecosystems in the water cycle for the management of water in the Municipality of Filandia during the period 2008-2015? The methodology used was qualitative and primary and secondary information using documentary techniques and focus group was sought and analyzed. The results obtained are the characterization and diagnosis of public policies aimed at the management of water and the elaboration of four public policy guidelines for water management in the Municipality of Filandia. It can be concluded that there were actions, but they were ineffective which is evidenced by the existing problems: there is no harmonization of policies at the national, departmental and municipal order; there are insufficient properties for conservation; water potential manifested in the supply of water to various neighboring populations; and the need for guidelines as an input for the management of water.
