Conflito socioambiental e mobilização pela água em tempos de seca: a passagem de carros-pipa pela comunidade do sítio São Tomé, Alagoa Nova, Paraíba (2014-2016).

Abstract

Being such a valuable resource, water is the cause of many disputes, especially when there is little availability. In Brazil, as in the world, water is not uniformly available, with the Northeast being the region with the greatest problems with water issues due to the drought, and why such a region shelters a large semiarid area that occupies all its States. Faced with the water crisis, the State and private individuals, in order to capture water, have traditionally used kite-cars as the main instrument to meet the most diverse needs, it was due to the water catchment that occurred the socio-environmental conflict in the São Tomé Site Municipality of Alagoa Nova in the State of Paraíba, so that the main objective of the present study was to analyze the socioenvironmental conflict and the impacts resulting from the passage of kite-cars in the community of Sítio São Tomé, between 2014 and 2016. As for the technical procedures applied to the conflict case study in the community of the studied site: Initially, a bibliographic survey and documentary analysis was carried out through laws, ordinances and resolutions, among which the Federal Constitution of 1988, the law 9.433 / 97 and CONAMA Resolution 01/86. An environmental impact assessment was also carried out using the matrices method of interactions based on the model presented by Santos, P. J. A. (2016), which was adapted according to the characteristics of the conflict studied.
