Water is one of the most important elements for life on the planet and for its preservation. It is the most abundant resource on the planet, but only fresh water, which is a minimal part, can be consumed by man and the different species for their subsistence. With global warming and therefore with climate change, the scarcity of water is increasingly notorious. Humans not only use water to drink it but also to produce the food we consume daily, to generate energy and for industrial production in general, which is why it is of the utmost importance for our subsistence as a species. In Peru, the scarcity of water is an issue that is always present since most of the population lives on the coast and at the same time a large part of the production and economic movement occurs in this region. Thus, agriculture is one of the economic sectors that uses the most water resources and most of this activity is carried out on the coast, which is a desert area. Therefore, it is a place subject to great water stress. In Peru, the management of water for agriculture needs improvements to deal with the scarcity of this element. The objective of this research is to demonstrate that good water governance through improved institutions can reduce the shortage of this element for use in agriculture. Through the comparison of cases on water governance, it is concluded that a change in institutions is necessary so that water scarcity is manageable and water use is better optimized in agriculture.
