    (2015-03-19) Recaman, Liliana
    La cuenca del río Las Piedras es la principal fuente de abastecimiento de agua para la ciudad de Popayán, capital del departamento del Cauca. Este ecosistema estratégico beneficia aproximadamente a 230.000 habitantes y nueve acueductos veredales con 650 familias. La Planificación ambiental ha sido la principal estrategia para la conservación, en la que ha jugado un factor primordial la participación comunitaria y su articulación a procesos concertados con las instituciones, contribuyendo al desarrollo de sus alternativas productivas, mejorando su calidad de vida y las condiciones ambientales del sector, permitiendo avanzar en la gestión social, cultural y biofísica, especialmente en lo que concierne a una mayor estabilidad del recurso hídrico.
