description The Lerma Basin has suffered countless human interventions, from the transfer in the mid-twentieth century to urbanization and industrialization. The municipalities that are part of the High Course in this Basin have been organized in different ways to have access to water. The process of decentralization has been locally questioned since the expected results have not been achieved, and the water management organizations such as municipal committees, autonomous committees, and neighborhood organizations are in a process of adaptation to not disappear. The different practices carried out by the managing organizations and the beneficiary inhabitants correspond or do not correspond to the national models foreseen. Therefore, on the one hand, the purpose of this paper is to identify the actors and existing relationships in water management of three municipalities that are part of the Alto de la Cuenca of Alto del Lerma course. On the other hand, to analyze the possibilities and challenges that are found in this region based on the Integrated Management of Water Resources (GIRH, its Spanish acronym) and Water Security (SH, its Spanish acronym). The methodology consists of the documentary review of the water policy of Mexico, the application of semi-structured interviews to the water managers in each municipality, and the application of a questionnaire to the inhabitants. As a conclusion, there is a wide diversity of local and community water management in the selected micro-region. This variability has to do with urban phenomena such as population growth, the disordered construction of housing, and water policy. Although each municipality has physical limits, its relations make a complex territorial overlap that evokes different areas of influence, so it is necessary to think of territorial planning and service management methods that overcome traditional limitations and support national water policy. In this sense, the GIRH and SH, conceptually, are limited by the contextual conditions of the localities, the local adaptations of the policy, and the capacities of the actors. Simultaneously, we can find elements of these kind that are applicable and observable in water management organizations, as it is the case of drinking water committees and their community management
