Resumen:
Given the difficulties that the Northeastern population faces with water issues and the
importance of this theme for Geography, emerged the following questions: this topic has been
discussed in schools? How is discussed in textbooks of Geography? Thus, it has as objective
to verify the theme of water issues is crafted in two books, the research is qualitative, through
an approach of content analysis (Bardin, 1977) uses quotes from sources, through indicators
built to during the research. The results identified that textbooks deal on water issues, and
specifically on the Northeast, but do so in a fragmented way, often dichotomizes natural and
human aspects. As well, we find stereotypes built on the northeastern figure. So, we found
that it should not be the one to be used to work this theme in teaching geography. Thus, we
have an alternative use of the pedagogy of projects so that there is possibility of construction
of geographical knowledge less fragmented and more critical on the northeastern reality.
