Governança das águas: estudo dos índices de conflito pelo uso da água no gerenciamento e planejamento dos Recursos Hídricos da Micro-Bacia do Rio Piedade, Minas Gerais

Abstract

This work has as general theme the water governance. The theme was delimited to the study of indices of conflict over water use in the management and planning of water resources. The application site is the micro-basin of Rio Piedade at the State of Minas Gerais. This research started with the assumption that it is possible to perform calculations of the Conflict Index for Water Use - Water Resources Management (ICG) and the Conflict Index by Water Use - Water Resources Planning (icp). The specific objectives are: to understand the origin of environmental conflicts within water resources, verifying the importance of managing the grant, under the governance of water right management; point out the characteristics of hydrological flows; and study the case of micro river basin Piety in Minas Gerais, through calculation of indices Conflict. The results were the calculations of indices icp and icg. It was concluded that it is possible to perform the calculations of these indices in a micro-watershed for future application in awarding grants for water use.
