Abstract

The inhabitants of the small municipalities or of any rural geographical space have no knowledge of the management, distribution or use of water and the environment in their localities, emphasizing that one does not have to be a specialist in the matter to request information on its status or to determine if the correct use of the water resource is being made. This report corresponds to the integration of the set of activities carried out during approximately five semesters, as a member of the SHWR (Seedbed in Hydrology and water resources management) water resources research seedbed, of the Universidad Santo Tomás Seccional Tunja, for which it was used the methodology that establishes the use of the GWI rural basin management index in different municipalities. Based on the results obtained in the application of this, a general use guide was made that allows easy access to information, framed by scientific rigor that provides reliability in the results, and that is directed to the community with the objective that it understands the indicators that evaluate and assess the degree of management of the basin, so that solutions focused on the benefit of the resource and the users, who are the main affected by shortcomings in the provision of the service, are established.
