ABSTRACT The article relates ethical conditions of people we know in common place relationships, usually asimetrical, conditions in which we tend to consider the point of view of the imposition of our sense of things or the museum attitude towards the reality of Andean communities. The purpose is to reach a definition of the community as an active entity, linked with the management of an extremely scarce resource and the political consequences of the self management in deep relationship with nature as a foundation for the possibility and determination of the existence of a social being. According to this, the paper pretends the comprehension of justice, beyond the distribution of water, the symbolic, material, and political consequences. It is furthermore, a glimpse of a possible ecology in the territory as a social matter in the Andes region, and it's expansion as a general and universal purpose.

Keywords : water; justice; management of scarce natural resources; ecology; Andes; Bolivia.
