Reúso de águas: aspectos jurídicos e socioambientais no Estado da Paraíba.

Abstract

The growth of the problems of shortage of the water comes to request the inclusion of new instruments capable to mitigate their effects. The water reuse appears as an additional instrument for the administration of the waters, seeking to reduce the demands on the springs of provisioning and, favoring the use of waters nobler quality for the due ends, at the same time in that it produces benefits environmental, social and economical. However, the spread of that practice in the state of Paraíba can bring several consequences, above all to the human health. The absence of a specific legislation favors the clandestine practice and increasing the risks the public health and to the environment. The basic proposal of the work is the analysis starting from the hermeneutical method, through the interpretative-comparative technique, of the component norms of the juridical and administrative Brazilian rules that foresee the water reuse as an instrument of consumption reduction and, at the same time as a water recourse complementai. For so much bibliographical researches and the application of questionnaires will be used the representative classes of the society. It is described in a decisive way to obtain a larger integration among the social segments, seen the absence of appropriate knowledge for a discussion of larger width for the statement of the reuse in their wide dimensions and different ends, not being enough only the messy proliferation of the reuso technique, but an including popularization, that it comes from the academy to the most distant places. It is inferred that even before norms of general focus, be of character juridical or administrative, federal or state, it is necessary to look for elements for the effective institucionalization, regulation and promotion of the maintainable practice of the waters reuse in the context of Recursos Hidricos's National Politics, needing the institution of specific legal devices and in agreement with the constitutional competence.
