Intervención a la quebrada Agua Amarilla (YU´KIÇ WALA) en la vereda El Mesón municipio de Morales, mediante la realización de actividades encaminadas a buscar su recuperación

Abstract

One of the great global problems is the difficulty that many rural communities have in accessing to drinking water supplies. This situation is aggravated by the little importance that people give to small water sources, pollution and the lack of infrastructure. This paper approaches this problem by studying the case of the Agua Amarilla stream, located in the indigenous reservation of Honduras (Uh ’Wala Vxç), Morales municipality, Cauca department. To address this problem, a recovery strategy is proposed for that water source, establishing its environmental services as an alternative for supplying water to the population. It is also indicated the importance of the ecosystem services that this affluent provides along its journey to its mouth. To this end, a pedagogical proposal has been proposed, directed by the elder spirits, through spiritual works and the wise elder (The Wala), which includes visits to the water source with students to strengthen territorial appropriation and conversations with the elderly to rebuild the memory of the brook. The expected result of these activities includes works written by the students (Reflections, essays, verses, stories), drawings and photographs. These activities are carried out within the framework of community work, expressed through the mingas that unite the community in the sharing of knowledge, wise, food and cultural traditions of the Nasa people.
