Resumo:
The research aims to bring the discussion of the need for specific legislation for the
reuse of wastewater, which is a practice of sustainable management of water
resources. With the main advantage being the reduction of the demand for drinking
water, mitigating the pressure on the sources. Thus, this reduction results from the
application of the reuse water to the purposes that can be served by waters with
characteristics less restrictive than the characteristics required for human
consumption, in the bias of the agro-industrial technology, that is, use for the
production of agricultural inputs. Due to the risks to both public health and the
environment arising from the practice of reuse of wastewater, the development of the
use of such technology will require vigorous State intervention, in the form of the law,
where a project exists, without, however, finalizing it. The objective of this intervention
will be to maximize the benefits of the practice and reduce the harm associated with
its management. Therefore, the present research aims to discuss the standardization
of the practice of wastewater reuse in Brazil. The legislative powers of federative
entities and successful cases of this closure. In order to do so, a bibliographic review
of the concept of water reuse was carried out, addressing its types and applications,
also listing the purposes of reuse water application. The bibliographic review also had
as objective the survey of the legal framework of the reuse of water in Brazil. From the
concept of water reuse, the relationship between the practice of water reuse and the
objectives advocated by the National Water Resources Policy can be established. In
this way, qualitative research will be done using data in the hypothetical-deductive
method, observing the existing norms and the need for specific legislation, analyzing
the draft Federal Law on the subject and punctuating the necessary specifications for
details, as well as making an exploratory research interviewing actors that are inserted
in this need of specific norm, given what is observed in the bureaucratic obstacle due
to the absence of specific legislation.
