The limited access to water services in rural areas of Mexico puts at risk the fulfillment of 2030 Agenda in Sustainable Development Goal Number Six, related to water and sanitation. The present study, carried out in two rural localities in the state of Puebla, aims to identify access to water by families and the strategies used to try to solve the lack of availability of water resources. Among the results, different forms of supply were identified and that the responsibility for having water rests with women. It concludes by arguing that profound structural changes are required in the government water sector, putting the human rights approach as the axis of water management logic.

Keywords : human right to water; territorial inequalities; sustainable development goals (SDG); rural communities; social exclusion.
