Resumo:
The present work has as its theme the problem of access and use of water. Our
area under study is represented by the Cacimba Nova site located in the
João do Rio do Peixe-PB which is part of the Microregion of
Cajazeiras that makes up the Paraíba Sertão Geographic Mesoregion The objective
The main objective was to analyze the problem of access and use of water in the area. As a reference
The theoretical theory was based on the notion of geographic space proposed by SANTOS (1999) in his
work The nature of space. Technique and time. Reason and emotion. In this the author proposes
that considers geographic space as an inseparable, solidary and also
contradictory, of object systems and action systems. The research also made use of
elaboration and application of questionnaires with the community in order to gather data
concerning problems arising from access and use of water. It was considered in
survey the entire population, represented by thirty-seven families that
total one hundred thirty-four individuals. An attempt was also made to draw a profile of the
existing population. These were analyzed and served as subsidies for
understand the socioeconomic conditions of the population and the ways of
distribution, supply, conduction, access and use of water. With the help of
questionnaires sought to know the coexistence of the thirty-seven families with the
water related problems. The research allowed us to verify the problems related to
access and use of water at Sítio Cacimba Nova which are attributed to the low presence of
public Power.
