Implementing participatory processes to involve different social actors linked to local environmental problems can be helpful to improve the understanding of their causes and to empower citizens facing collective decision–making. The importance of this citizen participation is reflected in the experience carried out in Tranqueras (Rivera, Uruguay) where different actors were summoned to carry out participatory monitoring of the water quality of the Tacuarembó river. The process involved several workshops for the visualization of environmental problems and the design of a participatory sampling and analysis of water quality. This experience generated a teaching–learning space between the community and the University that raises the reflection of the relevance of the epistemological dimension of environmental problems and the way in which their knowledge is generated and the different perspectives of how environmental problems are addressed.
