Abstract

El río Ranchería, en su recorrido desde la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta hasta su desembocadura en el Mar Caribe, pasa por nueve de los quince municipios del departamento de La Guajira. La importancia del río no solo está asociada a su explotación directa, sino también por su tarea como agente regulador de los ecosistemas que existen a lo largo de su cuenca y por su función como canal de irrigación de los suelos. Adicionalmente, el río posee un inmenso valor cultural para las comunidades indígenas del departamento. El principal proyecto de inversión pública de La Guajira depende del río. La construcción de la represa El Cercado, en el sur del departamento, es parte de un ambicioso proyecto de reactivación de la economía de la región. A la fecha se han invertido más de $650.000 millones en obras de infraestructura. Sin embargo, aún no se pueden ver los resultados de dicha inversión porque el proyecto no está terminado.
