The article proposes to determine the role of governance and environmental services in the management of community aqueducts in three municipalities of Caldas, Colombia. The methodology responds to the qualitative approach, with the design and application of a guide for the interview and focus groups. It was found that associations play a key role in the management of water and environmental services, despite their organizational weaknesses and risks. These associations weave relationships contributing to management with governance in the territory, in accordance with the recognition of governance capabilities evidenced in the rulings of the Constitutional Court. In the rural sector, community issues are of vital importance, particularly for water resources.

Palavras-chave : access to water; environmental services; community aqueducts; governance; vital minimums.
