Natural ecosystems are heavily dependent on water, as it is
essential to the development of life. The ecology and landscape
play an important role in the quality and availability of water. It
is no coincidence that exceptional hydrological phenomena are found
in protected areas. Such is the case with, for example, the
geothermic occurrences (principally, geysers) in America's
Yellowstone National Park , the oldest park in the world. The
Ramsar wetlands (where the ecosystem's dependency on water is
strongly evident), The Iguacu Falls (on the border of Argentina and
Brazil), or the Zapata Swamp (the largest of its kind on the
Caribbean island of Cuba) further exemplify this point. However, in
many cases, the conservation strategies for hydraulic resources in
protected areas are ignored, or simply deprived of the attention
they require. There are many types of suitable management
strategies for planning and protecting our valuable treasures.
Hydraulic resource management in protected areas is something that
must not be separated from these conservation measures. The first
Symposium for the Management of Hydraulic Resources in Protected
Areas was intended to be a framework of communication about
experiences with water resource management in protected areas.
Advances in research and possible solutions to the problems within
these areas were discussed. The contributions in this proceedings
volume are grouped under seven main themes: Purification and reuse
of wastewater in rural communities; Impact of public use on water
resources; Vulnerability and risks associated with aquifers, Design
and management water resources in protected areas; Research and
monitoring of water resources in protected areas; Water and its
importance as a source of renewable energy in protected spaces; and
Geodiversity and conservation of areas with hydraulic heritage.
