In the 1970s, investments were made in infrastructure in the Sub-Midi region of São Francisco, the Sobradinho hydroelectric dam was built, the expansion of road networks, the implementation of irrigation and rural electrification projects. However, with the implementation of the dam, the water cycle was changed, making the riverine people dependent on new environmental conditions and financial resources to produce their food. The importance of this research is to try to understand how the families of Nova Jatobá, Rompedor and Favela communities live over four decades of operation of Sobradinho hydroelectric, verifying: a) the access of Nova Jatobá, Rompedor and Favela communities to the means of production (land, water and capital); (b) whether the riparian benefited from public policies, infrastructure investment actions and credits for irrigated agriculture; c) local socio-productive relations. This research was participatory, all methodology used was based on the premise that the collaborating subject is the main landmark of the research. Thirty families were surveyed in the three communities, totaling 151 people. With regard to access to land, the riparian has no title or title to it, and as for access to water, the riparian who used to grow their crops in sync with the natural cycle of river waters, taking advantage of the wetlands after Their low volume now has greater difficulty producing their food, as they need financial resources to access irrigation technologies. Despite the existence of the National Program for Strengthening Family Farming (PRONAF), the interviewed families have not sought this source of credit due to lack of information or being in debt to banks. After the Sobradinho dam, the 3x1 production format declined, in this format, 1/3 of the products were for the landowner and 2/3 for those who cultivated it, but now this system was succeeded by that of meeiro. Once all the costs and expenses of the culture have been slaughtered, each part gets half of what was produced, so while the landowner participates with financial resources, the riverside enters with all the workforce that comes from the family nucleus, but Still, it often comes out of the agreement owed with the landowner. Even with so many challenges, there are still resilient streams who continue to face obstacles to produce and market surplus products at the Curaçá free fair. What has been presented throughout these four decades to the riparian is that there is no room for them in this model of (dis) involvement. And what they have left now is resilience or loss of freedom going to proletarianize.
