Abstract
The objective of the work is to know the valorization of adolescents around the problems of water use in the peri-urban west of the city of Mar del Plata, General Pueyrredón Municipality, in Argentina. Methodologically, 52 surveys were conducted in the month of April 2022, being applied to adolescents from 15 to 19 years, students of an agricultural school. It is understood that in order to achieve a correct Integrated Management of Water Resources it is essential to consider the opinions and points of view of all the actors involved, in this case, the adolescents of the area. Generating a sustainable environment propitious for young people as key actors in this sector and engaging older generations is a necessary condition to achieve participation and guarantee compliance with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The results demonstrate, in general lines, failures in the understanding of some concepts related to the hydrological cycle and show the influence of the media in terms of environmental problems since they perceive as serious those problems about which more is published in the media communication and/or social networks.
