We also determine its insertion into the temperate arid argentinian diagonal to understand it as a fragile area of climate transition, exposed to degradation processes derived from human action. Qualitative and quantitative approaches were combined in order to arrive to the objetive. The climatic characterization of the area was conducted by applying the water balance method and the calculation and analysis of the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI). It was found in Patagones district a permanent disconnection between natural and climatic conditions and the logics of capitalists’ production, which are not adapted to the natural conditions of the territory and have generated environmental degradation of the rural space.
