13 Santa Clara: The Fight for Water and Community Water Management.

07/18/2025

Did you know that in Guanajuato, there were rural communities that waged a struggle for water and that there are communities that manage their water autonomously? In this episode, we'll hear from Teresita, Blanquita, and Carmen from the community of Santa Clara in Dolores Hidalgo, a community that has worked hard and organized to secure water and community water management. Their community's achievements are thanks to their assembly and the commitment of their ancestors, grandparents, and current residents.

Community Water Management is a form of organization and autonomy for the care and administration of water for the benefit of the common good, for the benefit of life. At Voces del Agua, we are confident that this dialogue will inspire you and make you reflect on what organized communities in Mexico and the Independencia Basin can achieve.
