The groundwater management in a peripheral neighborhood in Tandil -Cerro Los Leones-(Buenos Aires Province, Argentina), deprived of water supply and sewer, its social actors and the resource exploitation and use are considered in this paper. Previous studies have shown chemical and bacteriological water contamination which generates a health risk for population. Water exploitation and use conditions are characterized pointing out several faults in design, construction and maintenance of wells and cesspits. Facing the needs and the challenge posed by an integrated water resource management, several guidelines aimed to sustainability were defined, including water use planning, drinking water supplying, boreholes design and environmental education.

Keywords : Hydrogeology; Integrated water resources management; Tandil.
