Why the Cuyo Water Labs<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

In 1970, Guillermo Jorge Cano<\/a>, a Mendoza lawyer specialized in water rights with a major international reputation, highlighted the value of the Cuyo region of Argentina, the provinces of Mendoza, San Juan, and San Luis, as a “living laboratory\u201d for the study and development of different techniques for managing water. The Cuyo Waters Lab takes up, from the perspective of <\/a>environmental digital humanities<\/a>, the challenge of exploring, analyzing, and creating narratives about the practices of water management that shape these territories and societies.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Lab is a space of creation, experimentation, and collaboration between research, archives, and technologies.\u00a0 We aim to generate knowledge that is relevant for science and relevant for local communities.\u00a0 This is not just an assembly of devices (scanners, lights, tables, computers and “clouds”) but a human and digital network drawing on different trajectories and groups that comes together to expand our knowledge and narratives of the past and present of the waters of Cuyo.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
