Abstract

El río Cesar recorre 280 km entre la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta y su desembocadura en el río Magdalena. En la presente investigación se hace una descripción de las características sociodemográficas y económicas de los habitantes de los municipios por donde pasa este río. En total son once municipios (San Juan del Cesar, Villanueva, Urumita y La Jagua del Pilar en La Guajira; y Valledupar, San Diego, La Paz, El Paso, Astrea, Chiriguaná y Chimichagua en el Cesar). El río pasa principalmente por zonas rurales y/o corregimientos. Las actividades principales de sus habitantes son la agricultura, la ganadería, la minería (en El Paso y Chiriguaná), la explotación de material de arrastre y la pesca (con mayor intensidad en Chimichagua). Cada una de estas afecta negativamente al río. Sin embargo, la fuente de contaminación más frecuente es el vertimiento de aguas residuales en el río sin la debida remoción de su carga contaminante.
