For the last 15 years, Sociedad Minera Cerro Verde (SMCV) has financed and/or built a series of water infrastructure projects across the Chili river basin in the province of Arequipa. These projects are backed by a corporate water efficiency policy called the “Virtuous Cycle of Water” that involves different interventions across the basin including water transfers, dams and black water treatment facilities. SMCV wielded the notion of water efficiency to generate a consensus among the decision makers at the national and subnational level. However, SMVC’s water efficiency policy isn’t neutral and is preceded by a series of agreements with different stakeholders across a fixed period that coincides with the two expansion phases of its operations. This thesis discusses the influence of participation and power dynamics in the exercise of the water rights as a human right in a mining context. Through the analysis of the environmental governance arrangements of mining in the region we find that SMCV strategy focuses in closing the gap of water accessibility and quality for stakeholders that are represented in the river basin decision making spaces. Nevertheless, the emphasis is not put on reducing preexisting conditions of water inequality. On the other hand, the agreements serve to consolidate a decision-making model that privileges the mining company and the presence of this activity in the region. Finally, the governance arrangement is highly dependent on the local institutions of water management, which even precede big mining, making the conditions of SMCV strategy hardly replicable in other contexts.
