Recursos hídricos e irrigação no Estado do Ceará análise institucional - 1988

Abstract

On this work, it has been considered firstly, the functioning of the State Water Resource System, through the comnetent institutions and Cearã Water Resource Council - CRHCe. It is backed by the knowledge of its legal foundations, which have both created and modified them: - Organizational Objetives and structures: Abilities: Activities performed at the Water Sector: Developed Programs - Financial Resources, Sources as well as Techinical Personel involved in 1988. Secondly, it was sought to get one acquainted with this study, as to its hydroloyical, hydrographical and agricultural aspects, and finally, the availability of water resources and irrigable lands in Cearã was identified Secondary natured data have been employed from several sources: AGUASOLOS, a Consulting and Engineering Enterprise in: charge of the execution of Ceará State Resource Plan - Institutional and Judicial aspects, contracted by the Secretary of water Resources, under execution; Secretary of Water Resources: State Water Resource Plan and Sao Paulo State Water Resource Scheme, under execution, by means of a magazine entitled WATER and POWER, together with preliminary reports; National Department for Works Against the Drought - DNOCS; National Department for Water and Power - DNAEE; Ceara State Agricultural Planning Comission - CEPA-CE; Brazilian. Association for Water Resources - ABRH, besides others. The procedure well known as Relation Tabular Analysis has been applied. In order to help this analysis to become more consistent and logical, bibliographical surveys have been performed and applied to sundry undertakings on management of irrigation and water resources. The results thus achieved have led one to imply that the existing organizational structure has been both induced and partially created by the Federal Government, in its endeavour to establish an infra structure against drought, strong enough to steer the socio-economical and development process, hoth in the Region and in the State. Futhermore, one has noticed that the State is still extremely dependent on the Federal Government, besides existing a chronic institucional chaos in the water resource management, with goes abreast with an early effort whose goal consist of granting an organizational structure to the water sector, characterized by awkward institucional steps. As a foundation for the new management model, a Water Resource Policy may be recommended, which shall rest on the State and Federal Constituions, capable of representing the governamental interaction, the planning of water offer and demand, all this according to organic, decentralized and participatory standards, taking the hydrographical basin as a spacial planning unit and generating source of indicators, regarding the situation on the water resources. The basic purposes of the Water Resource Policy must be reached through the institucion of the Integrated Water Resource Management System, which needs the steering of accurate and consistent guidelines. Finally, one Water Resource Management Model and the Implantation Strategics are suggested.
