Resumen:
Due to the reduction of the precipitation in the last years in Gramame river basin,
Paraíba State, the use of the water of Gamame-Mamuaba reservoir for the irrigation was prohibited to
give priority for the human and animal supplying. From the records of irrigation users, observations on
the site, and technical information, it was made a study of base in order to diagnose how the irrigation
was used in Gramame river basin, in the intention to subsidize the making decision people in the
rational water use planning for future generations. From the obtained results, it was verified that it is
necessary a systematic orientation for the small irrigation users, how to make the correct irrigation
systems and, thus, to be able to reach the integrated water resources management and getting profits
using their investment in a more rational way
