EN GENERAL EM QUEDARIA AMB LES FRASES DE SINTESI QUE POSES AL FINAL DE CADA DIAPOSITIVA, fins que arribis a una part que facis més a fons (des de la guerra?)
Finales 1870s y 1880s existía una alta competencia por el suministro del agua en Barcelona y localidades colindantes, a finales de los 1880s y 1890s están situación sufrió e importante giro: mientras muchos suministradores privados estaban experimentado importantes problemas, la SGAB planeaba una importante estrategia de expansión.
El precio era un elemento clave ya a principios del siglo XX
Here we have the geography of the distribution of dams in t1934, during the Spanish Republic. 97 dams of more than 15 meters regulated the flow of water for electricity, water supply and irrigation purposes. The Mediterranean basins presented a higher number of dams, to regulate the Mediterranean streams and rivers, more chaning and less reliable than the Atlantic rivers. As Swygedouw argues (2007) the early twentieth-century proposals to implement Costa’s ‘Hydraulic politics’ failed to make the envisaged impact.
Cambio organizacional en el CYII: se le da más importancia a medidas no ingenieriles
Today Madrid is a sprawled region Weak planning framework 1990s: more than 513,000 houses built, population increae just 240,000 (López de Lucio 2003
1965: the CYII bought 93% of Hidráulica de Santilana In 1995: Agbar bought 49% of Hidráulica, CYII bought them back 1997: Hidroléctirca del Cantabrico bought 49% of the shares 2006: CYII recovered all the share
La magnitud del proyecto del Canal de Isabel II no hubiera sido posible sin la intervención estatal. Varios intentos de privatizar el suministro de Madrid fueron en vano. En el caso de Barcelona hemos observado una fuerte tensión entre lo público y lo privado, por bien que en ciertos momentos históricos tal confrontación ha dado paso a formas de colaboración. Ejemplo, cuando el cambio político en 1910s desestimo municipalizar el servicio de aguas. Después de la Guerra Civil, cundo el regimen franquista devolvió a los banquero la colectivizada sgab. O cuando el consistorio en los 1960s decidió ceder a la sgab la concesión de agua del Ter.
DROUGTH: KEY ELEMENT IN THE ARTICULATION OF WATER POLITICS
Crisis, both financial and environmental are opportunities for a deep change but also they are opportunities for further capital accumulation under a neoliberal logic:
