CACERES, Daniel M. e RODRIGUEZ-BILELLA, Pablo. Access and appropriation of water in poor rural communities in central Argentina: Transformations and conflicts. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2014, vol.14, n.45, pp.359-395. ISSN 2448-6183.
Based upon a case study in central Argentina, this papermakes conceptualizations in order to understand the strategies to appropriate rural water, furthermore it discusses how recent socio-productive changes affect this appropriation and, finally, it examines the possible social consequences. The results suggest that the expansion of agrarian capitalism undermines the autonomy of poor peasants and inhabitants to access water for human consumption or production. This reinforces the subordinated position of the rural poor and the structural inequality of these territories, increasing their vulnerability before clientelistic relationships. On the other hand, capitalized producers are more successful in the appropriation of rural water.
