Resumo:
The technologies of capitation and rainwater handling had appeared of diverse and
independent way in many regions it world and have been one technique of use joint,
especially in the barren areas and half-barren, where rains, beyond volunteers, occur for few
months. In this context, the development of Brazilian Semiárido always was conditional to its
climate profile, to the social, political model, administrative and management adopted.
Considering that rains are the main water source for human consumption, agriculture in this
region, the Joint of Semiárido (ASA) elaborated the Program a Million of Agricultural
Watering Holes (P1MC), on the basis of the use of the rainwater for the attendance of the
water demands and to make possible the coexistence most harmonic between the populations
to Semiárido. Ahead of the displayed one, the development of the work consists of the
evaluation of the proposal of the ASA with objective to consider a picture of pointers and to
determine the index of support of Program - SIAVS-P1MC. The USA as reference the
method Pressure - State - Response framework and sustainability indicators proposed by the
IBGE, from the parameters defined for the Organization of Cooperation and Economic
Development and for the criteria for the development of these pointers assigned in Global and
Brazilian Agenda 21. The locus of the study was the settlement Cajueiro in the city of Poço
Redondo and the Mocambo village in Tobias Barreto city, both in the State of Sergipe. For
analysis of the support of the program watering holes, three pictures of pointers, all had been
elaborated using the dimensions social, economic, environmental and institucional. The
following stage consisted of transforming them into indices whose values vary of zero to one,
for, from, calculating the synthetic indices of support in elect dimensions e there, later, to
congregate them in an only value that synthetic the level of support of the P1MC for the
searched place. The Synthetic Index of the Support of P1MC (ISS-P1MC) calculated for the
Mocambo town 0,4975, was classified as bad, setting in motion the alert signal of with sights
the overcoming of the fragilities mainly in the components institucional and social that had
pulled the pointer for low. The ISS-P1MC calculated for the Cajueiro nesting 0.5391, was
classified as acceptable, that it allows deducing that the situation of support of the Program is
lightly better that in the Mocambo but, still thus, indicates the necessity of adjustments, in the
variable and pointers, mainly in the dimensions social and institucional. Although the pointed
fragilities, conclude that this strategy represents an experience in management citizen, an
attempt to use the local potentialities and to surpass the lacks in a geographic space, whose
proposal intends, despite not reach fully, the establishment of the harmonious relationship
process between individual/space/society that it corroborates with the tacit affirmation of the
northeast viability Semiarid and that is perfectly feasible the coexistence of the population
with this singular region of the Brazilian State.
