Resumo: Brazilian river basin committees are a democratic innovation increasingly studied throughout the world as a positive example of water governance, with some limitations. In our two-year research project (2018-2020), we aimed at activating, preserving and circulating narratives and stories from the participation of the various social, economic and political actors in the Upper Tietê River Basin Committee (São Paulo), in order to gather organisational memories. Our interview data bring lessons applicable to contexts with similar governance systems and others beyond, by suggesting how democratic, participatory arrangements can be improved as strategies that a society can explore in the process of learning how to cope with the effects of climate change, including the threat of water scarcity that grew in the metropolitan region of São Paulo after 2014. Interviews point to the need to clarify the roles of the committee and its members before society, to strengthen authority and legitimacy.

En nuestro proyecto de investigación de dos años (2018-2020), nuestro objetivo fue activar, preservar y difundir narrativas e historias de la participación de varios actores sociales, económicos y políticos en el Comité de la Cuenca del Río Alto Río Tietê (São Paulo), para obtener memorias organizacionales. Los datos de nuestra entrevista proporcionan lecciones aplicables a contextos con sistemas de gobernanza similares y otros, sugiriendo cómo los arreglos participativos y democráticos pueden mejorarse como estrategias que una sociedad puede explorar en el proceso de aprender a lidiar con los efectos del cambio climático, incluida la amenaza de escasez de agua que creció en la región metropolitana de São Paulo después de 2014. Las entrevistas apuntan a la necesidad de clarificar los roles del comité y sus miembros ante la sociedad, a fin de fortalecer la autoridad y la legitimidad.Os comitês brasileiros de bacias hidrográficas são uma inovação democrática cada vez mais estudada em todo o mundo como um exemplo positivo de governança da água, com algumas limitações.

Nossos dados de entrevistas trazem lições aplicáveis a contextos com sistemas de governança semelhantes e outros, sugerindo como os arranjos participativos e democráticos podem ser aprimorados como estratégias que uma sociedade pode explorar no processo de aprender a lidar com os efeitos das mudanças climáticas, incluindo a ameaça de escassez de água que cresceu na região metropolitana de São Paulo após 2014. As entrevistas apontam para a necessidade de esclarecimento dos papéis do comitê e de seus membros perante à sociedade, a fim de fortalecer a autoridade e a legitimidade.São Paulo Research FoundationConselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)São Paulo State UniversityUniversity of WarwickSão Paulo State UniversitySão Paulo Research Foundation: 2018/02270-9CNPq: 305689/2019-3ANPPAS - Revista Ambiente e SociedadeUniversidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)University of WarwickRothberg, Danilo [UNESP]Garde-hansen, Joanne2022-04-28T16:56:23Z2022-04-28T16:56:23Z2021-11-03info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/article-application/pdfhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1809-4422asoc20200211r3vu2021L4AOAmbiente & Sociedade.
