Abstract

The state of Ceará, inserted in the semiarid Northeast, has been following the global trend of the development of water resources policy, but the challenge is to continue its effective implementation, considering the need to ensure water availability and improving the quality of water, besides the implementation of management instruments against a background of increasing demand and thus polluting sources. Starting from the premise that public sector intervention in water resources policy is essential and mandatory due to the need of managing conflicts and major investments, government planning and evaluating their actions become decisive factors for the successful management these resources. From this rationale, this study sought to analyze the development of the Water Resources of the State of Ceará policy observing the execution of the State budget in the period 1995-2012 on the political context, the involvement of funding agencies, major products delivered infrastructure, studies, projects and periods of drought. Technical comparisons, observations and analyzes of facts were used, and the relationship thereof. As a result, it was observed that the budgetary execution of SRH was strongly influenced politics, especially in the last years of government mandates, funding sources that were instrumental in the implementation of policy and drought years did not interfere directly in the budget implementation of SRH in every year. As for studies and projects, the research showed that there was a concentration in the early years of the analysis. Based on the information gathered and analysis is intended to support government planning with greater knowledge, maximizing the results of public spending, identifying successes and overcoming bottlenecks.
