During the last twenty years, the agricultural frontier of the Chira valley (Piura, Peru) has expanded considerably and, in parallel, is suffering from recurrent episodes of water scarcity. Both aspects that today characterize the valley are, in part, product of the incentive to the agribusiness in coastal valleys and the reforms in water policies that govern in the country. Thus, agricultural users - who make up a heterogeneous group composed of small and medium farmers, as well as agricultural companies - develop a series of strategies to access water for agricultural use in a watershed with a river declared as depleted. Since the case of the Miguel Checa Commission, in the Chira Valley area, and using a qualitative methodology, the strategies identified are investment for infrastructure control, self-definition of the right to Water, translocation of water law, support networks, alternate organization for internal control and collective manifestations. The development of these strategies shows that the institutionality of water management for agricultural use in Peru is hybrid and plurilegal, since it is composed of three regulatory fields (public water administrative institutions, user organizations And local or micro-irrigation systems) that coexist, intersect, and sometimes conflict with each other on the definition of access to water in terms of rights. Nevertheless, none of these fields exceeds its fragility neither does it fully enable the water security of the users.
