Abstract

Los 125 municipios de la ribera del río Magdalena concentran un total de 6.381.243 habitantes, lo cual equivale a un 13% de la población nacional. El río ha sido desde tiempo atrás un importante medio de comunicación con los municipios del interior del país. No obstante, para potencializar el intercambio de pasajeros, bienes y servicios entre estos municipios y las zonas de puerto en el Caribe, se requiere mejorar las condiciones de navegabilidad del río. En este documento se estudian las principales variables socioeconómicas de los municipios ribereños, así como los planes que existen sobre la recuperación de la navegabilidad por el Magdalena. ******ABSTRACT: The 125 municipalities on the banks of the Magdalena River have a total of 6,381,243 inhabitants, which is equivalent to 13% of the national population. The river has been for quite some time an important means of communication with the inner municipalities. However, to enhance the exchange of passengers, goods and services between these municipalities and the port areas in the Caribbean, it is necessary to improve the navigability conditions of the river. In this document we study the main socioeconomic variables of those municipalities, as well as the plans that exist on the recovery of navigability through the Magdalena River.
