HERNANDEZ, Francisca Silva. Citizen science applied to water resources. Hallazgos [online]. 2024, vol.21, n.42, pp.119-131.  Epub July 30, 2024. ISSN 1794-3841.  https://doi.org/10.15332/2422409x.9346.

In a complex system of understanding and addressing problems through science and research, citizen science represents a temporary incentive. It is not a new science; However, today more than ever it can be strengthened and strengthened. It infers a convergence of actors towards new paradigms and extramurals, providing a panorama with greater options aligned with the needs of concrete reality based on tacit findings. This document is purely qualitative and describes, through the review and analysis of the doctrine, elements that make up an inclusive perspective of citizen science. This type of science approaches the convergence of scientists and societies to find, address and foresee situations or problems that come together. Its application in different sciences and disciplines contributes to experimental knowledge with a disciplinary, interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary scope. In the case of water resources, it favors obtaining results that imply the transversality of knowledge jointly and for the common good.

Keywords : water; science; citizenship; participatory research; human rights; water conflict.
