GONZALEZ BREIJO, Francisco et al. Diagnosis of agricultural activity in the Guamá watershed. Rev cubana ciencias forestales [online]. 2018, vol.6, n.1, pp.91-102. ISSN 2310-3469.

The present work was carried out in the Guamá River Basin with 305 km2 of extension, bounded on the north by the divide or part of the central waters in the heights of the slates next to the community of El Moncada, on the south it is limited by the intersection of the river Ugly with Guamá, on the east with the Paso Viejo River basin and on the west with the Rio Feo Basin. It includes the municipalities of Viñales, Pinar del Río and San Luis. The research aims to diagnose the main problems that justify the implementation of a project for agroecological management in the agricultural activity of the Guamá watershed in the sections belonging to the Pinar del Río and San Luis municipalities. To achieve this objective, historical, dialectical and empirical methods were used. In addition, the studies carried out in the Guamá watershed were systematized and it was determined that the current situation of the basin is unfavorable, characterized by a decrease in productive yields, the increase in soil erosion, as well as insufficient and inadequate agricultural practices that guarantee sustainable management of resources and production.
