Abstract

The environmental problem centered on the water resource is susceptible to be analyzed from any school of thought; However, approaching it from the phenomenological orientation gives the virtue of discovering the keys that help to decipher, interpret and act on the nature of the causes that encyst and feed this phenomenon. In this sense, the phenomenological school emerges as the epistemological Olympus that pours its illumination on the problematization and discernment of an issue, within which, the contributions
of critical theory and postmodern scholars such as Boaventura de Sousa, Habermas, Foucault and Morín, allow you to align your thoughts to give strength to the arguments around which it is possible to process the events that happen to the environmental sphere, currently spoiled by a mode of production and social organization, whose destructive nature has left deep traces on the environment. Deterioration of water resources. This problem, which is a concern of various fields, also worries the academic field, so from this
work it is understood, that resorting to tools such as the School Environmental Project - PRAE and Problem-Based Learning - PBL, facilitates the development of processes of teaching - learning, integrators of the contextual reality with the daily life of the classroom.
