Description
The Citizen Water Observatories (Observatorios Ciudadanos del Agua OCAs) are built under the umbrella of the Alianza Nacional Ríos y Cuencas de Costa Rica. They constitute, like the Alliance, meeting places, in which citizens voluntarily unite in order to carry out concrete actions to face the challenges presented by water management and the protection of the different bodies of water existing in their communities.
Los Observatorios Ciudadanos del Agua (OCAs) se construyen bajo el paraguas de la Alianza Nacional Ríos y Cuencas de Costa Rica. Constituyen, al igual que la Alianza, lugares de encuentro, en los que voluntariamente los ciudadanos se unen para realizar acciones concretas para enfrentar los desafíos que presenta la gestión del agua y la protección de los diferentes cuerpos de agua existentes en sus comunidades.
Citizen Water Observatories (Observatorios Ciudadanos del Agua OCAs) seek to identify and develop; raise awareness and agree on projects aimed at solving the problems that cause the lack of water and the little protection enjoyed by bodies of water in their communities, assuming as valid and as a starting point the key Sustainable Development Goals, approved in the month September 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly, in the document known as the 2030 Agenda.
The ethical support of this project is the express recognition of the right of all human beings to access drinking water, as well as the consideration of water as a common good, which under no circumstances should be confused with that of a commodity. The OCAs are groups whose members act in a voluntary, supportive, disinterested and committed manner, in surveillance and permanent monitoring of water sources.
Los Observatorios Ciudadanos del Agua (OCAs) buscan identificar y desarrollar; sensibilizar y consensuar proyectos encaminados a solucionar los problemas que provocan la falta de agua y la poca protección que gozan los cuerpos de agua en sus comunidades, asumiendo como válidos y como punto de partida los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible clave, aprobados en el mes de septiembre de 2015 por la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas, en el documento conocido como Agenda 2030.
El sustento ético de este proyecto es el reconocimiento expreso del derecho de todos los seres humanos a acceder al agua potable, así como la consideración del agua como un bien común, que en ningún caso debe confundirse con la de una mercancía. Los OCAs son agrupaciones cuyos integrantes actúan de manera voluntaria, solidaria, desinteresada y comprometida, en la vigilancia y monitoreo permanente de las fuentes de agua.
- Accompany communities in the process of applying for the Blue Flag award in the Micro-watersheds category, in order to promote their responsible participation in the conservation, restoration and protection of these important geographical units.
- Apply bioremediation techniques through the use of effective microorganisms to combat contamination problems in water bodies.
- Work with formal education institutions in order to instill in children, and through them families and communities, an interest in the bodies of water close to their homes and schools, so that they develop a sense of of belonging and mutual care with rivers, streams, lakes and lagoons.
- The cartographic analysis is a fundamental tool for the good performance of the OCAs. It is by means of this important technique, among others, that the state of the river and its adjacent areas, the uses of the land, the geomorphology of the river, and all the basic elements for a reliable analysis of the river can be known.
- Promote the recovery and conservation of the quality of our bodies of water so that they can maintain the fundamental role they play in the development of the country and in the quality of life of the inhabitants. Initiative that seeks to integrate groups of citizens and businessmen, as well as local and national authorities and institutions into the fight in favor of rivers and our bodies of water in general.
- Promote Surveillance, safeguarding and protection of our bodies of water.
- Carbon Footprint: benefit granted to organizations that support OCA's, carrying out the inventory of greenhouse gases and their compensation, to obtain carbon neutrality certification.
- Expansion of the network. Each observatory should try to convince other neighboring communities about the need to establish their own OCA. Task not always easy but necessary for the regional growth of the OCA's. Fortunately, there are already the first seven OCA's as a result of this delicate extension task that the OCA's assume once they are established.
- Promote activities that bring communities closer to their rivers, so that there is a happy reunion of the inhabitants with their rivers and that current generations revive the relationship that their ancestors maintained with the different bodies of water (so that grandchildren can bathe in the community river and enjoy it like your grandparents did).
- Recovery of Forest Cover, which seeks to promote the conservation of gallery forests, highlighting the role of cover in the protection of water resources, the establishment of native forest vegetation and respect for its protection zone as established by law.
1. Acompañar a las comunidades en el proceso de postulación al premio Bandera Azul en la categoría Microcuencas, con el fin de promover su participación responsable en la conservación, restauración y protección de estas importantes unidades geográficas.
2. Aplicar técnicas de biorremediación mediante el uso de microorganismos efectivos para combatir problemas de contaminación en cuerpos de agua.
3. Trabajar con instituciones de educación formal con el fin de inculcar en los niños, y a través de ellos a las familias y comunidades, el interés por los cuerpos de agua cercanos a sus hogares y escuelas, para que desarrollen un sentido de pertenencia y cuidado mutuo con los ríos, arroyos, lagos y lagunas.
4. El análisis cartográfico es una herramienta fundamental para el buen desempeño de las OCAs. Es por medio de esta importante técnica, entre otras, que se puede conocer el estado del río y sus áreas adyacentes, los usos del suelo, la geomorfología del río, y todos los elementos básicos para un análisis confiable del río. .
5. Promover la recuperación y conservación de la calidad de nuestros cuerpos de agua para que mantengan el papel fundamental que juegan en el desarrollo del país y en la calidad de vida de los habitantes. Iniciativa que busca integrar a grupos de ciudadanos y empresarios, así como a autoridades e instituciones locales y nacionales a la lucha a favor de los ríos y nuestros cuerpos de agua en general.
6. Promover la Vigilancia, resguardo y protección de nuestros cuerpos de agua.
7. Huella de Carbono: beneficio que se otorga a las organizaciones que apoyan a las OCA, realizando el inventario de gases de efecto invernadero y su compensación, para obtener la certificación de carbono neutralidad.
8. Ampliación de la red. Cada observatorio debe tratar de convencer a otras comunidades vecinas sobre la necesidad de establecer su propia OCA. Tarea no siempre fácil pero necesaria para el crecimiento regional de las OCA's. Afortunadamente ya existen las primeras siete OCA como resultado de esta delicada tarea de extensión que asumen las OCA una vez constituidas.
9. Promover actividades que acerquen a las comunidades a sus ríos, para que haya un feliz reencuentro de los habitantes con sus ríos y que las generaciones actuales revivan la relación que sus antepasados mantuvieron con los diferentes cuerpos de agua (para que los nietos puedan bañarse en el río comunitario y disfrútalo como lo hacían tus abuelos).
10. Recuperación de la Cobertura Forestal, que busca promover la conservación de los bosques de galería, destacando el papel de la cobertura en la protección de los recursos hídricos, el establecimiento de la vegetación forestal nativa y el respeto a su zona de protección establecida por ley.

The need to protect Costa Rica's rivers is crucial and constitutes the main task and the most important objective to be achieved. Reducing pollution, eliminating dumping and minimizing the discharge of hazardous materials and chemicals, and reducing the percentage of untreated wastewater are just a few of the many dangers facing our rivers, and whose attention constitutes a good part of the purposes of the OCAs in their desire to improve water quality.
La necesidad de proteger los ríos de Costa Rica es crucial y constituye la tarea principal y el objetivo más importante a alcanzar. Reducir la contaminación, eliminar los vertidos y minimizar los vertidos de materiales y productos químicos peligrosos, y reducir el porcentaje de aguas residuales sin tratar son sólo algunos de los muchos peligros a los que se enfrentan nuestros ríos, y cuya atención constituye buena parte de los propósitos de los OCAs en su afán para mejorar la calidad del agua.
