Descrição
Resumo:The Brazilian semiarid is characterized as a region where climatic conditions are harsh, with very irregular rainfall. There are periods of great shortage of water and other intense rainfall. This characteristic of scarcity resulting from irregularities in the distribution of rainfall causes a strong dependence of the intervention of man over nature. Thus, the man intervenes through construction of water infrastructure in order to seek the guarantee and the preservation of this water resource for their survival. The absence of water causes obstacles to economic development and consequently the social, where there is the need for water. So, the major problems are due to absence of water, especially for people living in more distant rural communities. Therefore, due to lack of regular water supply for users in rural communities in the Brazilian semiarid, and the great need of this resource in periods of drought, the population is always attended with palliative measures, with water transported in tanker trucks, in actions taken by emergency government programs. In this sense, it was searched to have access to the perceptions of the actors in the context of water resources on the effectiveness of water management, considering the uses of water supply in rural communities diffuse, test the hypothesis through the analysis of these perceptions and thus provide a basis for future interventions in the management of water resources in the Brazilian semiarid. The methodology was based on qualitative research in which we used the technique of document analysis from existing studies; characterization of the watershed of Ceará Mirim River - RN; identification of users of diffuse rural supply through Pipa Car Program; interviews with pre-prepared questions about the effectiveness of water management, with the actors in the context of water resources; and associate, an analysis of the information obtained. Finally, it was confirmed the initial hypothesis, that the management of water resources in the Brazilian semiarid region is not effective, considering the uses of water in diffuse rural residences. Although the interviews were conducted individually, when the perceptions of the actors were analyzed collectively the results were the same for management effectiveness. The opinions of actors culminated in the same way with respect to the need for solving the problem of water insufficiency in rural areas diffuse and point to the need for a policy of environmental sanitation.
