The article discusses the significance of community aqueducts as territorial collective actions affecting water management and the defense of the right of access to water at the community level. From a rural sociology perspective, it strives to highlight the role and function of community aqueducts as collective initiatives at the territorial level, that promote social transformation in rural areas. The paper presents an approach to the definition of community aqueducts. A brief contextualization in Colombia is developed and the analysis of the relationship as a collective action that promotes territorial social mobilization is explained. Finally, the paper also highlights the challenges faced by community aqueducts and their contribution to managing water resources and constructing the social network around water. This reflection is based on a qualitative approach and the review and analysis of documents and systematization of experiences with community aqueducts in the departments of Valle del Cauca, Cauca, Norte de Santander, Nariño and La Guajira in Colombia.
