Avaliação do acesso à água por comunidades rurais nos municípios de pequeno porte.

Abstract

The implementation of programs such as Um Milhão de Cisternas (P1MC), Uma Terra Duas Águas (P1 + 2) and Programa Água Doce(PAD) are examples of actions to coexist with the semi-arid region that ensure that rural populations have access to drinking water . In this sense, it is necessary to understand how small municipalities with less than five thousand inhabitants are being supported by the coexistence programs created by the government to serve the population of these municipalities. The objective of this study was to evaluate the difficulties of access to drinking water in the 68 municipalities of the semi-arid region of Paraiba with less than 5,000 inhabitants. For this, the data collected in the portals of the Ministério do Desenvolvimento Social and Ministério do Meio Ambiente were used as crosstabulation methodologies in GIS environment on the programs in parallel with the SNIS data of the rural population supplied by the general network of Water. And it was verified that there is vulnerability in water supply in these municipalities in the three presented programs.
