    ABSTRACT In the context of the La Provincia Community, Isinliví Parish, Sigchos Canton, Cotopaxi, critical problems linked to anthropogenic activities, such as mining, territorial invasion, as well as insufficient environmental awareness, were identified. As a result, the main objective of this research was to develop a participatory management plan of the water component for the declaration of Conservation and Sustainable Use Areas (CSUA), qualitative, field and participatory methodologies were used, including descriptive, deductive and bibliographic methods. These methodologies were supported by techniques such as direct observation, Delphi and data collection, which allowed to effectively achieve the established objectives. The results obtained included a baseline that reflects the current state of the water component, as well as the physical-chemical analysis of the three water catchments that supply the community, which are: Tagma Pamba, Totora Pugro, Yaku Uviana. The data obtained from the water analyses were compared with the admissible limits established in INEN 1108. In sample 1 the analyses were within the limits for drinking water, in sample 2 the nitrite parameters exceed the maximum permissible limits for drinking water, and in sample 3 they are within the permissible limits for drinking water. In addition, 3 training sessions were conducted on different dates, aimed at 25 community members for the development of the participatory management plan, within which 3 programs were established: Recovery, Conservation and Sustainable Use to promote the sustainable management of water resources. To conclude, the integration of the community in water management and the implementation of a participatory management plan is an important step towards sustainability. In order to ensure long-term success, it is important to continue to strengthen community education and participation, as well as to monitor and adapt management measures as needed.
