Esta obra presenta de forma inédita una investigación de largo aliento que busca recuperar la naturaleza social del agua, y destacar que es fundamental que la sociedad participe en el manejo y conservación de este recurso, con sus prácticas, ideas, significados, valores, potenciales e intereses que le confiere.
