The Antü Wilef community in Chile lives with the problem of water scarcity in a forestry context. The main objective of the article is to expose the way in which this problem affects the daily life of the community and its notion of territoriality. The study is developed from a bibliographic review and interviews with members of the community and people close to it. Based on this, it is concluded that the lack of water has repercussions in the cultural, social and economic areas of the community. In addition, the way in which the community deals with the problem through its own initiatives and administration of the resources provided by the State is presented. The study has been developed throughout 2020, with the limitations of the health situation affecting the country and the world.
