This article examines how the construction of a new institutional architecture of water in Peru has influenced the actors and sociopolitical dynamics related to the management of water resources in the Ica River basin, which is found under the influence of the Ica and Huancavelica regions. The result is a series of disagreements between the formal aspects of management and the practices of basin actors, expressed in two processes that have produced conflicts between people from Ica and from Huancavelica: the construction of diversion infrastructure and the creation of the Water Resources Council of the Ica River basin. In the midst of these processes of institutionalization and conflict, there are new actors and others that were formerly pushed to the background who take on greater prominence, resulting in a complex scenario for management.
