The human settlements development is closely related to water availability. lts vital importance is shown in so­ cial behavior patterns that result primarily as conflicts and migration. Water is vital far human existence; the­ refore populations which suffer a lack of this resource tend to leave their place of origin to locations with basic services. In the department of Sucre, Mosoj Llajta community is deprived of this resource even though it passes near the gorge of Yotalilla. A feasible alternative is the cons­ truction of a gallery that will capture filter water from the creek. The main objective of the project was to make the de­ sign of an infiltration gallery far uptake of water in the creek Yotalilla, transported through intake pipe to a sto­ rage tank near the community far further treatment and distribution to the community of Mosoj Llajta. Perfarming appraisals on a pit on the creek it was faund that despite having a mínimum tlow in the river bed this was increased to a few inches of the bed, and in the dry season despite the absence of water in the creek there is subsurface flow in abundance.
