Análise da disponibilidade hídrica da bacia do Ribeirão Santa Isabel: identificação de áreas de conflitos

Abstract

As a result of economic development and population growth, the demand for water resources has increased significantly in recent decades. Thus, to guarantee current and future generations the necessary water availability, in quality standards appropriate to their respective uses, the National Water Resources Policy, through Law 9.433 / 97, is established. One of the main instruments for the management of established water resources in the Law, the Concession of the Right of Use of Water Resources aims to control the uses of water in quantity and quality. In this sense, the Concession is granted based on the assessment of the water availability of the source, from the reference flow of the river basin. In this way, the present study aims to identify conflicts of water use in the Ribeirão Santa Isabel Basin, based on the evaluation of water availability and granting of grants. Based on the results obtained, it is proposed the implementation of a process of water resources management, through the negotiated allocation of water and the regulatory framework.
