Acesso à água para consumo humano no semiárido brasileiro: desafios, tensões e perspectivas do programa “Um Milhão de Cisternas”.

Abstract

In this article, we sought to build an overview of the implementation of the cistern program in the Brazilian semiarid region, with the purpose of understanding the limits and potential of the resulting collective learning mechanisms. he relationship between the State and civil society established in this process constituted the background of the analysis that was based on categories derived from the decolonial and senian approaches. It was found that the dismantling of the Cisterns Program curtailed the possibilities of an agency under construction and deprived hundreds of family farmers of access to water.
