The politics of collection for the right of private water use that are being implanted in Brazil, as instrument of water resources administration were studied in this work. Emphasis was given, specifically, to the politics that are being implanted in the State of Ceará and in the Basin of Paraíba of the South, especially, in the areas that involve States of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Minas Gerais. The study approaches the main difficulties found in this implantation process, as well as, it shows the influence of the regional aspects in this process. A comparative analysis among those two collection models is accomplished. The results of this analysis allow concluding that collection politics, differently that it happens in Europe or in the United States, are in an initial and transitory phase. This is caused by a juridical component that exists today in Brazil, regarding to the right of the use of the water. The study shows yet that the unitary price composition, collected by the use of the water, depends on such regional characteristics as, level of shortage of the water in the area, economical level, as well as, payment capacity for the user.
