PACHECO-PENA, Daniel; LEMA-QUINGA, Luis  and  YANEZ-MORETTA, Patricio. Water Co-management between public and community actors as a tool for adaptation to Global Climate Change: the case of Santa Clara de San Millán Commune, DM Quito. La Granja [online]. 2023, vol.37, n.1, pp.44-57. ISSN 1390-8596.  https://doi.org/10.17163/lgr.n37.2023.04.

Water management in rural, urban, and peri-urban communities is a priority topic for human development. In this article, ideas related to the adequate co-management of this resource (between community and public actors) are specified as a tool for adaptation to contemporary scenarios of Global Climate Change. The study area corresponds to a peri-urban zone of Quito. The information was ordered and processed using ATLAS.ti software and a geographic information system; current regulations were ranked through a Kelsen Pyramid. The results generated are divided into three sections that conceptualize the bases for adequate water management, considering management models with a territorial approach and adaptation measures to Climate Change made by co-management actors. This action model generates a consistent tool for managing water resources, as well as other natural resources.

Keywords : Water Co-management; Quito; Santa Clara de San Millán Commune; Climate Change adaptation; legal regulations; territorial management.
