Abstract: Nowadays, soils are polluted by different agents, causing serious problems for the population. Among the different polluting agents, there are those of diffuse origin that by their nature are difficult to treat. Pursuant with the foregoing, the communities are exposed to different problems including those related to salubrity which makes it essential to monitor the way these agents act on the ground, taking into consideration the anthropic activities. This study outlines a mediation route that contextualizes this pollution phenomenon in the world and then appropriates it to the Colombian context, specifically to a case study where in turn, it is aimed at quantifying the impact produced by diffuse pollution, thus, obtaining a new indicator called the Resilience Indicator which with Fuzzy Logic techniques, enables support for making correct decisions.
