Práticas de cobrança de água bruta nos comitês interestaduais para uso agrícola no Brasil

Abstract

The research proposal in the form of a dissertation is to examine the use of economic and environmental criteria in the methodologies and criteria for charging for the use of raw water in the agriculture sector in Brazil, based on a survey of practices adopted by the Brazilian interstate basin committees and international collection experiences in the agriculture sector. The main assumption is the understanding enshrined in the literature that Basin Committees basically use the same collection model, whose objective is primarily collection, to the detriment of the economic and environmental. The work uses secondary data and literature review, to study the legal and methodological bases of collection. The research is classified as a quantitative and qualitative method. The purpose is exploratory, explanatory and interpretive. The nature of the proposal is applied and the procedures are: bibliographic, documentary and case. The study covers the identification of the theoretical aspects that the environmental economic literature and Brazilian studies propose for charging for the use of raw water, a brief presentation of international charging experiences, in general, and in the agriculture sector, in particular, and also, the construction a global panorama of charging for water use in Brazil, detailing proposals and practices in the agriculture sector. From the reflection on the Brazilian situation, the research makes general recommendations, based on the study's conclusions.
