Abstract

At present, the quality and quantity of water is a topic of interest and at the same time a lot of concern due to the knowledge that there is about the very scarce freshwater reserves that exist on the planet. These reserves believed in the future will be insufficient for accelerated population growth and indiscriminate use that is well above the capacity of the resource. However, today , the number of people who commit to the care, not only of water, but of the planet is increasing. The main objective of this study is to determine how in an urban population that is the Santa Clara Commune of San Millán there is still a historical and autonomous management of water. To this end, the research question is the following: What is te Integrated System that manages the management and use of water in the Commune? In this context, it must be understood that a successful system must understand the social, economic, physical technical and environmental axes. The research question is answered through a technical-participatory methodology where the author with the participants (members of the Water Board and the Cabildo) establish a diagnosis of each of the axes belonging to the system for further discussion. Finally, a proposal for a plan of relevant improvements is established by the author based on everything analyzed in the document, said plan is structured in order to strengthen the system and make ir less vulnerable to environmental and anthropic agents.
