Resumo: | Water scarcity has been discussed and studied in the last decades from different points of view, from issues related to the effects of global climate change, to factors of governance and political management of water resources, consumption and capitalist exploitation of water, to ways and technologies to rationalize their use. This article sought to understand the conflicts of interest and the contradictions of actions in the scope of governance of water use in the Rio Formoso Hydrographic Basin, specifically in the performance of its Committee. The economic relevance of the basin became preponderant over socio-environmental issues, in view of the massive irrigation project implemented from the 1980s onwards, despite its impacts on the water imbalance of the basin. Through a systematic analysis of environmental legislation, institutional documents, the minutes of meetings of the Rio Formoso Basin Committee and legal proceedings by the Public Ministry of Tocantins, we sought to identify distortions or inconsistencies in the Committee's performance, as well as imbalances in democratic participation of the social actors involved, considering that Brazilian legislation and its regulatory agencies must promote the democratization of water use with social justice and environmental balance. It was found that the discussions within the Committee are poorly qualified, participation is unequal and there is a preponderance of agribusiness interests in decision-making, resulting in the lack of solutions for management in the face of recurring water crises and the need for supervisory interference from the Public ministry. |

The Conflicts and contradictions in the governance of the Formoso River Basin – Tocantins - BrazilCONFLITOS E CONTRADIÇÕES NA GOVERNANÇA DA BACIA DO RIO FORMOSO – TOCANTINS - BRASILBacia HidrográficaGestão de recursos hídricosGovernança.Water scarcity has been discussed and studied in the last decades from different points of view, from issues related to the effects of global climate change, to factors of governance and political management of water resources, consumption and capitalist exploitation of water, to ways and technologies to rationalize their use. This article sought to understand the conflicts of interest and the contradictions of actions in the scope of governance of water use in the Rio Formoso Hydrographic Basin, specifically in the performance of its Committee. The economic relevance of the basin became preponderant over socio-environmental issues, in view of the massive irrigation project implemented from the 1980s onwards, despite its impacts on the water imbalance of the basin. Through a systematic analysis of environmental legislation, institutional documents, the minutes of meetings of the Rio Formoso Basin Committee and legal proceedings by the Public Ministry of Tocantins, we sought to identify distortions or inconsistencies in the Committee's performance, as well as imbalances in democratic participation of the social actors involved, considering that Brazilian legislation and its regulatory agencies must promote the democratization of water use with social justice and environmental balance. It was found that the discussions within the Committee are poorly qualified, participation is unequal and there is a preponderance of agribusiness interests in decision-making, resulting in the lack of solutions for management in the face of recurring water crises and the need for supervisory interference from the Public ministry.A escassez de água tem sido discutida e estudada nas últimas décadas sob diversos pontos de vista, desde questões relativas aos efeitos decorrentes das mudanças climáticas global, aos fatores de governança e gestão política dos recursos hídricos, de consumo e exploração capitalista da água, até maneiras e tecnologias para a racionalização de seu uso. Este artigo buscou compreender os conflitos de interesse e as contradições de ações no âmbito da governança do uso da água da Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio Formoso, especificamente na atuação de seu Comitê. A relevância econômica da bacia passou a ser preponderante sobre questões de ordem socioambientais, tendo em vista o vultuoso projeto de irrigação implantado a partir da década de 1980, a despeito e seus impactos para o desequilíbrio hídrico da bacia. Por meio da análise sistematizada de legislação ambiental, de documentos institucionais, das atas das reuniões do Comitê da Bacia do Rio Formoso e de processos judiciais do Ministério Público do Tocantins, procurou-se identificar desvirtuamentos ou incoerências de atuação do Comitê, assim como desequilíbrios de participação democrática dos atores sociais envolvidos, tendo em vista que a legislação brasileira e suas agências reguladoras devem promover a democratização do uso da água com justiça social e equilíbrio ambiental. Detectou-se que as discussões no âmbito do Comitê são pouco qualificadas, a participação é desigual e há preponderância dos interesses do agronegócio na tomada de decisões, repercutindo na falta de soluções para a gestão frente às recorrentes crises hídricas e na necessidade da interferência fiscalizatória do Ministério Público.Universidade de Taubaté2023-09-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://www.rbgdr.net/revista/index.php/rbgdr/article/view/660710.54399/rbgdr.v19i3.6607Revista Brasileira de Gestão e Desenvolvimento Regional; Vol. 19 No. 3 (2023)RBGDR; Vol. 19 Núm. 3 (2023)Revista Brasileira de Gestão e Desenvolvimento Regional; v. 19 n. 3 (2023)1809-239X10.54399/rbgdr.v19i3reponame:Revista brasileira de gestão e desenvolvimento regionalinstname:Universidade de Taubaté (UNITAU)instacron:UNITAUporenghttps://www.rbgdr.net/revista/index.php/rbgdr/article/view/6607/1334https://www.rbgdr.net/revista/index.php/rbgdr/article/view/6607/1335Copyright (c) 2023 Revista Brasileira de Gestão e Desenvolvimento Regionalhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessde Souza Borges, Mariana Silva de Sousa, ErlanAntonio Alves Pereira, FranciscoGaldino dos Santos, MarcioAlbieri de Oliveira, Lucimara2024-02-02T13:46:19Zoai:ojs2.rbgdr.net:article/6607Revistahttps://www.rbgdr.net/revista/index.php/rbgdrPUBhttps://www.rbgdr.net/revista/index.php/rbgdr/oai||monicafcarniello@gmail.com1809-239X1809-239Xopendoar:2024-02-02T13:46:19Revista brasileira de gestão e desenvolvimento regional - Universidade de Taubaté (UNITAU)false |
