The World Water Day, increasingly fewer

reservoirs of this important component for the world

AIDESEP, March 22, 2011. On World Water Day, after the unfortunate earthquake in Japan, the climate crisis, global warming are discussions in place, there has indeed the threat that our sources of water, glaciers, lakes, rivers of the Amazon is disappearing, for our continent accounts for 94% of the world's tropical glaciers, and they are getting less for accelerating the deglaciation that goes with serious consequences.

The economic, social and environmental dimensions of water is incalculable, as they provide much of the electricity consumed by the countries of the region, over 50% of installed capacity and 73% energy for electricity generation continent is hydroelectric. And the irrigation water, essential to the arid Pacific coast, is of glacial origin.

accumulation of snow and ice at high altitudes provides most of the springs, puquiales and rivers (surface water). Many of the rivers of the region from the glaciers, so this rapid deglaciation impacts on water supplies for agriculture, human consumption, use in industry and power generation.

deglaciation With increased population exposure to climatic hazards such as landslides and flooding of ponds. And to affect water supplies, cause a reduction in agricultural production and hydropower generation capacity. The low-lying coastal areas will suffer the effects of rising sea levels, causing displacement of populations and damage in infrastructure. Besides changing rainfall patterns, producing more and more droughts and floods.

glaciers must be defended to protect water sources and save his life. Thus, indigenous plants that are declared protected zones for extractive activities that impact them and pollute. We demand binding commitments by States to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. And we raised the urgency to adopt a Universal Declaration of Mother Earth.

believe that the Earth is a living and water as part of it too it is, we conceive it as a subject of rights. We take care of her as she cares for us, we raise it as her baby. And only by changing the irrational exploitation system that predates the loot and destroy, we will ensure continuity of all beings we live in it.
