El agua, elemento vital en las zonas áridas, ha marcado las relaciones entre Chile y Bolivia. En este artículo se analizan las complejas relaciones entre ambos países desde el punto de vista del agua dulce, mediante una metodología cualitativa basada en la revisión de diversas fuentes. Se utiliza un enfoque geopolítico, enfatizando en tres momentos clave: la negociación de 1950, la controversia del Lauca y la discusión por el río Silala. Con ello, se busca comprender la relevancia del agua en las relaciones bilaterales, y mostrar cómo este elemento fue vital en las tensiones diplomáticas del siglo XX.
