La defensa del agua y del territorio en la cuenca del río Sumapaz se manifiesta como una expresión de resiliencia comunitaria, en la medida en que evidencia la apropiación que tienen las comunidades del agua y de los conflictos socioambientales de su territorio; situación que logra empoderarlas como agentes de cambio. Por tanto, el objetivo central de este artículo es analizar los procesos de defensa del agua, acontecidos en la cuenca del río Sumapaz en el periodo comprendido entre los años 2012 – 2017, en relación con los proyectos de explotación petrolera y de generación de energía hidroeléctrica; desde la resiliencia comunitaria. La metodología se basó en la revisión documental del contexto histórico y los eventos recientes y la aplicación de entrevistas semiestructuradas a actores clave. La investigación evidenció la existencia de una autoestima colectiva, una cohesión social y una identidad cultural como pilares fundamentales que se entrelazan y dan soporte a la resiliencia comunitaria en el territorio de la cuenca.
