O PROCESSO DE OUTORGA EMITIDO NO BRASIL: UMA ANÁLISE DA BACIA HIDROGRÁFICA DO RIO DAS ALMAS

Abstract

Brazil holds 12% of the planet's fresh water, but water care is not placed as a priority by governments or by Brazilian society. On the other hand, Brazilian environmental legislation is recognized as one of the most complete in the world, however its feasibility is doubtful. Among the instruments of environmental management we have the National Water Resources Policy, which advocates the integrated management of water resources, organized by river basins throughout the national territory. The National Water Resources Plan has instruments for water management and conservation, these basins are created using natural criteria found in the region of origin, they are managed by a regional or local committee that helps in inspection and preservation actions. use of water, the granting of the right to use water resources, charging for the use of water, whether it is superficial or well, the classification of water bodies in classes of use. The grants are classified into 10 basic purposes where you can have control of how much is being spent and for what reason, this being an official record where a fee will be charged for the use of the water resource. This work aims to analyze data from the national information system on water resources, the characteristics of the granting processes of different Brazilian basins, and in particular the river basin of Almas covers an area of 33,721 km2 and around 57 municipalities Goiás. The data revealed that of the 12 hydrographic basins in Brazil, the basin with the highest number of grants is the one on the São Francisco River, with more than 10871 granted grants. There are 205 basin committees created to help monitor the use of water resources.
