Abstract

Colombia enjoys the status of a multicultural nation; This fact is reflected in the various manifestations and expressions of its idiosyncrasy that exist throughout its vast territory, bathed by rivers in all its corners, which flow into two oceans, in this way ancestral cultures prevail that are maintained in the time and others to identify. The Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta houses populations in constant contact with the natural environment and they have built complex urban systems around bodies of water. The investigation of the Urban Water Cycle in the township of Nueva Venecia in the municipality of Sitionuevo-Magdalena, in the palafitic settlement in the middle of the El Pajaral swamp, allowed us to recognize aspects of the culture of its inhabitants and its intrinsic relationship with water, both for its consumption, as a fundamental part of its territory, highlighting its historical, cultural and potential heritage value. Said particularities of the study area can transform the concept of amphibian culture that various sociologists have built and accepted for populations located mainly in the tributaries of the Magdalena River or the Momposina Depression. In this way, the concept of aquatic culture is proposed as a derivation of the amphibian culture and that takes on a logical sense if it is analyzed from an urban perspective around the management of water in Nueva Venecia.
