EL RÍO: UN PROTAGONISTA OCULTO EN EL DIÁLOGO DE LAS AGUAS

Abstract The aim of this article is to highlight the role of the rivers in relevant environmental dialogues of the XX and XXI centuries, identifying how the river is contextualized in the dialogues regarding water worldwide and how much some of the rivers of world, regional and local relevance have changed in the same period. The main goal is to identify the possibility to convert the history of the water environment into an applicable instrument for the fluvial water management. To this, an analysis of different taxonomic, diplomatic, visual and oral sources was carried out. From the analysis, it was possible to conclude that the environmental history of rivers and their interaction with the river basin where they are inserted can be interpreted as indicators of the relation of rivers with existing broader environmental changes, identifying them as protagonists in the history of the people and of their villages and cities of residence.

摘要 本文旨在凸显河流在20世纪与21世纪相关环境议题对话中的核心作用，厘清全球水资源相关对话中河流的语境定位，以及同期部分兼具全球、区域及地方影响力的河流发生了何种变迁。本研究的核心目标在于论证将水环境历史转化为可应用于河流水资源管理工具的可行性。为此，本研究对不同类别、外交档案、视觉影像及口述类史料展开了系统分析。通过本次分析可得出结论：河流的环境史及其与所属流域的交互作用，可作为反映河流与更广范围现有环境变化之间关系的表征指标，同时明确河流作为人类及其聚居村落与城市发展历史中核心参与者的地位。
