Abstract

The National Water Resources Policy, Law 9.433/97, establishes that the management of Brazilian waters must be carried out in a shared, democratic and participatory manner. To this end, it instituted basin committees, which are consultative and deliberative collegiate bodies for the management of water resources in the respective hydrographic basin. Users, government and civil society are present in its constitution, through communities. When talking about representation, who are the actors, as individuals, who participate in the water management processes within the scope of the Pará River Watershed Committee (State Decree No. of the Velhas River (State Decree No. 39,692, of June 29, 1998), considering that representativeness is essential for good water governance? This work aims to raise the profile of the counselors of these committees, tributary basins of the São Francisco River, considering social, sanitary, training, gender, among others, in addition to exploring information about their perception of service in the committees and their functioning. In this sense, it was a descriptive and exploratory research, with a quantitative approach. For this, the practice was applied with the actors involved and subsequent data analysis was carried out and proposals were presented for a more inclusive water management. The result of the profile of the advisers of the diet commissioners controlled duration of the elite profile with a predominance of males, white, with a high level of education and income, compared to the Brazilian average. There is a greater inclusion of young adults in these foods, when compared to similar studies. In view of the result, it is concluded that the development of actions by the basin committees is essential for the introduction of representativeness in the social, medical, training, gender, color/race/ethnicity, age group, education, professional performance, family income and training of its advisers considering that plurality is essential for a greater democratization of the management of Brazilian waters.
