Sumario:The purpose of this paper is to study in depth the events that took place between 1932 and 1943 under the liberal-conservative governments in the Province of Mendoza, Argentina, in relation to water management. The analytical framework will be the General Department of Irrigation (DGI), the main state agency involved in water distribution.Considering that state administrators (in this case, the DGI) are the ones who diagnose problems and propose solutions, we focus on the state capacity oriented towards the public good pursued by state agencies.To this end, we analyzed the institutional memories published during this period, in which we found a common project shared by the various DGI administrations regarding the management of water resources. Such a project aims at a future projection in which hydraulic public works are considered as durable goods with a positive impact on the whole population, (not only provincially but also nationally).
