Conflitos de usos múltiplos dos recursos hídricos e reservatórios hidrelétricos no Brasil

Abstract

Water reservoirs are projects that can be used for various purposes, such as human supply, food security, energy generation, navigation, flood control, tourism, among other functions. In addition, they are instruments to be used to face situations of water stress by society. Despite these advantages, the multiple uses of these reservoirs often lead to conflicts. To these conflicts be avoided and to optimize their uses, strong governance is needed. The proposal of this study is focus to river basins and, as well as for the already installed reservoirs, analyze where it is viable to install water reservoirs with the least social and environmental impact possible and stimulate a new approach to the problem with the creation of an organization that promotes integrated, efficient and participatory management, where there is an analysis of water uses, bringing all stakeholders to debate so that it is plausible to execute, synergistically and optimally, the demands and maximize the use of water resources.
