Abstract
This article pretends to make a contribution to the analysis of the relationship between gender and hydric resources, the specific problems of women in relation to water, based on a comprehension of the logic behind the articulation strategies of marginalized families regarding water. Here the forms of access, supply, management and control of the water for rural domestic units in an indigenous community in San Juan Chamula, a municipality in the los Altos region of Chiapas, will be analyzed, in order to reflect on alternatives aimed at supporting the active participation of women in decision making processes on water management in the community, contributing in this way to the construction of sustainable local development.
