Regantes destacan ampliación del plazo de inscripción de derechos de agua | Diario el Día

Law 21.727 has significantly extended the deadline for registering water use rights, providing small-scale farmers with additional time to regularize their status without losing their rights. This measure aims to ensure peace of mind for thousands of producers, particularly those in rural areas who face economic, digital, or time-related constraints, and who have historically encountered severe administrative barriers to meeting the requirements imposed by the State. Regularization not only protects users’ property rights but is also essential for building a genuine, transparent public water cadastre. By ensuring that all rightsholders, regardless of the number of shares they hold, are properly registered, uncertainty regarding water availability and actual ownership is reduced. This enables state institutions and local communities to better coordinate water resource management, preventing the loss of rights and facilitating sustainable management in contexts of scarcity. This article is relevant to open data because it underscores the need for accurate and accessible data on water management. A complete and verifiable registry enables the generation of reliable open data that inform public policy, facilitate academic research, and promote accountability. Transparency in the ownership of water rights is a crucial step toward evidence-based resource governance, where clear and available information drives more equitable and efficient decisions for society as a whole.
