The governability and governance crisis in the use of groundwater in the coastal aquifer of La Yarada, is an element that contributes to the depletion and deterioration of the quality of groundwater, by processes of marine intrusion. This paper is to characterize the governance crisis in use of the groundwater, under the current conditions of exploitation and establish its implications in the study area, interpreting the current national and international regulations applicable to this type of system. This problem, in all its terms, alters and exceeds the laws regarding the management regimes and limitations in the availability of underground water resources, if immediate action is not taken by the governmental apparatus, the crisis of the system could become irreversible with the consequent economic damage that this entails. In the area there are large areas of olive plantations, which are the support of economic activity in the region. In this sense, it is necessary to have a specific regulatory framework for groundwater that recognizes its particularity, it must consolidate and make strong the institutionality in the area of water law, not being a unique need to the case of groundwater, but in a general to water resources in all its forms in our country.
