Gestão dos recursos hídricos no sistema agroindustrial nordestino: uma abordagem teórica

Abstract

With the increasing population and urbanization process of the management of water resources has become increasingly complex. Among the sectors of economy, agriculture is what consumes most water, using approximately 70% of global reserves of water. In this study we attempt to find an interface between the agro-industrial system and water resources in semiarid northeastern to have a more efficient and participatory management of water. Based on the literature review conducted it was concluded that to promote more efficient management of water, facing the enormous pressures and demands of the agribusiness northeast, you must redefine the legal- institutional process based on the principles of decentralized, participatory and systemic, and the watershed as the unit of planning and management and water as a public good which has economic value.
