¿Podemos culpar a los ríos de desbordarse de la pequeña vasija a la que los hemos recluido?. Lo cierto, es que en un escenario de cambio climático y el dinamismo de los ecosistemas de agua dulce (ríos, lagos, humedales, entre otros), se requiere reconocer la importancia de estos eventos para una sociedad saludable.

Repost @patagonjournal ---- It’s been a rainy winter in Chile, and capital Santiago has seen its fair share of spoils from the rain gods. So much so that recently the zombie-like Mapocho River that runs through the center of the city was overflowing, leading Isaura Martinez Rojas from Cochrane, Aysen, to drop her kayak in the deluge. In late August, and for the second time this winter, the 20-year-old Martinez, who competes internationally in kayak competitions and learned the sport with Escualos Cochrane, a kayaking club that sharpens its skills on the mighty Baker River in southern Chilean Patagonia, went kayaking in Santiago. Says Martinez: “We kayakers are the guardians of the water cycle to keep the water flowing freely. I wonder, in 30 years, will kayaking in the rivers of the south be like this? A river without a shore, turned into a stone canal with washing machines and cans thrown into it, will it be like paddling among the despised and forgotten?” Read the rest of the story at www.patagonjournal.com .
