Objective: to know Buñuelos, Coahuila, women’s point of view regarding the current water situation in their locality, the meanings they give to this resource, and the strategies they carry out to sustain family and community life facing towards water scarcity. Methodology: following a qualitative methodology, ethnographic interviews and focus groups were conducted. Results: capitalist ways of life exclude women from the access to water and exacerbate their social reproduction-related work. Limitations: other structural dimensions around the quality of life in Buñuelos were not analyzed, neither the contributions of other female and male key actors in the locality. Value: the described information serves as the basis for public policies design aimed at sustainable and inclusive development. Conclusions: exposed data are important and essential due to they come from women and from the place they have in the social structure. However, the need for other studies that record the contributions of other female and male key actors in the locality is recognized, as well as a structural analysis of other dimensions of the quality of life in Buñuelos.
