Water: Colombia's Wealth

Water wealth in Colombia, one of the determining elements of our existence on planet Earth, is the protagonist of this wonderful illustrated book published by Villegas Editores with the sponsorship of Syngenta.

At this time, when the country is facing one of the greatest droughts in history and our natural water sources have decreased significantly, only the wealth of water, still existing within the national territory, prevents us from declaring ourselves in an environmental crisis.

In any case, this situation is a wake-up call for Colombians, since our survival depends on the existence and conservation of our moors, which slowly filter fresh water, and on the provision of the basins with their protective natural vegetation.

This book—through more than 200 excellent photographs—pays tribute to water, its momentum, its passive strength and hypnotic beauty, whether in rivers, lakes, waterfalls, reservoirs, swamps, inlets, wetlands, ravines, snow-capped mountains, waterfalls or other beautiful manifestations, which we must protect vigorously, since this vital resource is the true Wealth of Colombia.
