Descripción : La agricultura irrigada juega un papel fundamental en la viabilización de los sistemas de producción agrícolas. De forma paralela a los esfuerzos del estado por construir distritos de riego, amplios sectores de agricultores han desarrollado sistemas de riego informal, especialmente en la zona andina. Se inicia localizando la agricultura familiar irrigada en las zonas altas de latinoamérica, identificando su basta presencia gracias a herramientas cartográficas; luego se estudia el desarrollo de la agricultura irrigada en 5 países andinos; después se caracteriza el riego informal en Colombia. El segundo capítulo se centra en Fómeque, la zona de estudio, donde se analizan y comparan sistemas de riego formal, semi-formal e informal. Después de caracterizar la zona, se calculan varios indicadores económicos de los sistemas de producción, complementados con indicadores de conflicto en el acceso al agua. Finalmente, basado en indicadores económicos y de consumo de agua, se caracterizan los sistemas de producción y se desarrolla un modelo de regresión lineal múltiple con el fin de explicar los excedentes familiares agrícolas. Se encuentra que si bien el acceso al agua para riego juega un papel crucial en la viabilización de los pequeños sistemas agrícolas familiares andinos, el desempeño económico no puede explicarse por el tipo de sistema de riego del que se abastece cada usuario. Así mismo, para optimizar el funcionamiento de los sistemas de riego, es necesario incluir algunas ventajas de los sistemas formales e informales en la concepción y operación.
Irrigated agriculture plays a significant role in making agricultural production systems viable. Several farming groups have developed their own informal irrigation systems, alongside the State’s efforts to build irrigation districts, especially in the Andean zone. This study begins with the localization of irrigated family agriculture in the high lands in Latin America and it is possible to identify its widespread presence thanks to cartographic tools; afterwards, the development of irrigated agriculture in five Andean countries is studied; later, informal irrigation in Colombia is characterized. The second chapter focuses in Fómeque, the study zone, where formal, semi-informal and informal irrigation systems are analyzed and compared. After characterizing the zone, various economic indicators of the production systems are calculated and complemented with indicators of water access conflicts. Finally, based on economic and water consumption indicators, the production systems are characterized and a multiple lineal regression model is developed in order to explain the family agricultural surplus.

As a result, it is found that access to water for irrigation is vital in making small Andean family farming systems viable; nevertheless, the economic performance cannot be explained by the type of irrigation system each user is part of. Besides, in order to optimize any irrigation system, it is necessary to include some advantages of the informal and formal irrigation systems on how they were conceived and the way they operate.
