- Title
Quand H<sub>2</sub>O et esprit de l'eau se rencontrent.

- Abstract
This article focuses on making visible the coexistence of at least two worlds in the Puracé Indigenous Reservations through the information I collected in the company of the Puracé Indigenous Council when getting to the water supplies in this territory. These worlds can be distinguished through the two ways in which they interact with water: first (the modern way) where the water is only an object (H2O), and the other (not so modern) Puracéan world where water, besides being an object, has its own characteristics such as a spirit and a will. Visualizing this coexistence may perhaps influence the conduct of contemporary development and public policies in countries considered as multicultural nations.
