In the Pedro Carbo Canton, Ecuador, there are artificial lentic wetlands designed by native peoples as a response to the region's water deficit. These wetlands of great local and regional importance are called jagüeyes or albarradas, which to this day support many families living in the tropical dry forest. The objective of the research was to characterize and evaluate the sustainability of family farms around these albarradas. According to the morphological characterization, the albarradas oscillate between 500 and 50 000 m2. Likewise, the storage capacity of these reservoirs is between 1 000 and 50 000 m3 of water. Of the population surveyed, 77 percent use the water for agriculture, 21 percent as a watering hole for cattle, sheep and horses, and 2 percent use these systems for human consumption. The results obtained from the calculation of the ICA in the albarradas studied present values of 89.1 (Bellavista), 54.8 (El Agapito), 57.3 (Pampa Grande) 81.9 (La Unión) 57.0 (Cascajal), which, according to the proposed scale, corresponds to water of medium or acceptable quality. The production that takes place around the albarradas is mainly for self-consumption, allocating areas between 0.5 and 3 ha and only 4 percent have areas greater than 3 hectares for production. The main crop is rice. 42 percent of the farms have more than 5 species of animals. The economic, ecological and socio-cultural indices were 3.1, 2.3 and 3.3, respectively, with an arithmetic average of 2.9 which is greater than 2, as well as the value of each individual index, for which it is concluded that the production in these albarradas, are sustainable
