Abstract (en)
Within this article we take a brief look at the water situation in Guajira (Colombia). We talk about the available water resource and its rationing for the support of the community. We also present a small historical review to know the origin of the inconveniences related to water in the territory. The technologies used to obtain drinking water are then discussed. First, we describe the drinking water wells that are not an applied technology, but they are one of the main sources of supply, and are still being installed throughout the region. Secondly we will see the water desalination system, its application in this territory and its different methods and techniques developed, and as the latest technology is the Warka wáter, an ambitious project but little applied due to the climatic and geographical conditions of the territory.

Dentro de este artículo damos un breve vistazo a la situación del agua en la Guajira (Colombia). Se habla del recurso hídrico disponible y su racionamiento para el sostenimiento de la comunidad. También se presenta una pequeña reseña histórica para conocer el origen de los inconvenientes relacionados con el agua en el territorio. Luego se habla de las tecnologías usadas para la obtención de agua potable. Primero se describen los pozos de agua potable que no son una tecnología aplicada, pero son una de las principales fuentes de abastecimiento, y aun en la actualidad están siendo instalados por toda la región. En segundo lugar veremos el sistema de desalinización de agua, su aplicación en este territorio y sus diferentes métodos y técnicas desarrolladas, y como última tecnología está el Warka wáter un proyecto ambicioso pero poco aplicado por las condiciones climáticas y geográficas del territorio.
