The objective has been to study not only the management of irrigation water, but also somewhat unexpected urban water management. Methodologically an integrated approach that meets qualitative (interviews) and quantitative (analysis of databases) instruments is adopted. Results indicate that the increasing need for water resources is managed through dams building, while for water demand management, users and government institutions show no real strategies. Water demanding crops, added to traditional management practices create problems of water deficits. The latter are also exacerbated by uncontrolled population and urban growth that results in inequities to access between the formal and the informal built environment</em>.}, number={12}, journal={Agua y Territorio / Water and Landscape}, author={Zapana Churata, Luis Efrain}, year={2018}, month={Nov.}, pages={145–156} }
