A outorga para o uso dos recursos hídricos na Região do Alto e Médio Curso Paraíba e as implicações quando do uso não autorizado.

Abstract

The grant, defined by the National Water Resources Policy as one of the instruments for water management, which operates under the supervision of Regulatory Agencies together with institutions, public authorities, representatives of users and communities, which translates into participatory management, democratic and decentralized. The present research aims to analyze whether the process for granting grants has been carried out in the Paraíba River Basin, limited to the springs from Monteiro to the Epitácio Pessoa dam. While the specific objectives aim to analyze compliance with the law in relation to the granting of concessions for water use; identify whether there is a relationship between water crisis and granting of concessions; to verify what are the anthropic pressures and the possible responsibilities within the delimitation of the basin under study. The methodology adopted for this study was the inductive method, where, through observation of the facts, the means of research were adopted through bibliographic consultations, dissertations, academic theses, scientific articles, analysis of tools available on the AESA website, in addition to the compliance with the legal rules that regulate water resources, however, it was possible to identify problems related to the granting license for water use. That said, it was noticed that numerous grants are overdue throughout Paraíba, a worrying scenario that raises an alert regarding the indiscriminate use of the waters of our Paraíba River Basin.
