Sustainable water resources management is increasingly recognized as a critical challenge where effective solutions depend not only on public policies, but also on the active participation of local communities. The review utilized a structured methodology, including the PICOC and PRISMA approaches, to analyze relevant literature published from 2010 to 2024. The findings highlight that community participation empowers local stakeholders, fosters responsibility, and integrates both traditional and scientific knowledge for adaptive water management. Furthermore, inclusive water governance frameworks that promote transparency and cooperation among various stakeholders are critical for equitable and effective resource management. Challenges to implementing these strategies include limited access to information, technical capacity, and resistance from some sectors to relinquish control. The review concludes that overcoming these obstacles requires stronger political commitment, capacity building, and the development of regulatory frameworks that support community rights and inter-institutional cooperation.
La gestión sostenible de los recursos hídricos se reconoce cada vez más como un reto crítico cuyas soluciones eficaces dependen no solo de las políticas públicas, sino también de la participación activa de las comunidades locales. La revisión utilizó una metodología estructurada, incluyendo los enfoques PICOC y PRISMA, para analizar la literatura relevante publicada entre 2010 y 2024. Los resultados destacan que la participación de la comunidad empodera a las partes interesadas locales, fomenta la responsabilidad e integra tanto el conocimiento tradicional como el científico para la gestión adaptativa del agua. Además, los marcos inclusivos de gobernanza del agua que promueven la transparencia y la cooperación entre las distintas partes interesadas son fundamentales para una gestión equitativa y eficaz de los recursos. Entre los retos que plantea la aplicación de estas estrategias figuran el acceso limitado a la información, la capacidad técnica y la resistencia de algunos sectores a ceder el control. El estudio concluye que para superar estos obstáculos es necesario un mayor compromiso político, la capacitación y el desarrollo de marcos normativos que apoyen los derechos de las comunidades y la cooperación interinstitucional.
