Globally, day-to-day sources of surface water resources endowed with qualities suitable for human consumption decrease resulting in conditions affecting communities dependent on these sources of this precious resource. Given the current situation, the most viable option to favor isolated or remote communities is through the construction of small potable water treatment plants (PTAP's) with fast and systematized design modules that allow obtaining the specifications for their construction and operation in a safe and sustainable way over time complying with SDG 6 (Agenda 2030, UN). Within this context, the design of systems for obtaining potable water becomes a valuable tool that allows the rapid configuration of this type of infrastructure to build efficient and completely sustainable systems in communities with low water resources. Currently, the teaching of this type of concepts and fundamentals are part of the curricula of programs and professional high schools education that teach the specialization in environmental engineering with a low level of computer science and systematization, declining its application due to its traditional management with tedious and slow calculations in obtaining results. Therefore, in this study a new learning dynamic is proposed using the 3D modeling software application for the study of real cases with practical application and immediate resolution allowing the full development of the critical capacity in the group of students who will use it
