Water is a natural resource of a renewable and abundant character on our planet, but the use of this resource without considering sustainability principles, associated to factors such as population growth and lifestyle have resulted in one of humanity's greatest problems - water scarcity . In Brazil, despite being a country with large water reserves, the availability of this resource is quite heterogeneous, including regions characterized by water scarcity. In view of this scenario, the present work aims at the elaboration of guidelines for the management of water resources, having as a case study the Academic Unit of Serra Talhada, Federal Rural University of Pernambuco and for its development the methodology used is based on two steps. In the first stage an environmental diagnosis of the university was carried out, and in the second stage, the guidelines for water resources management were defined. Considering the need to apply techniques that support the planning of water resources management with a focus on sustainability, the environmental diagnosis was developed based on the application of the PEIR (Pressure - State - Impact - Response) model, which enabled the structuring of information to identify the indicators that need to be monitored and to indicate what measures can be taken to support management decision making in the planning and management of water resources. Based on the application of this tool, it was stated that in response to the environmental problems arising from the current water management model, the monitoring and maintenance services of the hydraulic system should be elaborated and implemented in order to correct losses in the distribution; the projects to implement alternative sources of supply for less demanding uses and more economical technologies, in addition to projects focused on environmental education. In this sense, studies were carried out regarding the potentiality of possible alternative sources of supply to be used. In the second phase, based on the objective and precise consolidation of the data obtained, the general guidelines for the management of water resources were defined. Thus, considering the socioeconomic relevance of the university and the context of water scarcity in which it is inserted, the present work is necessary due to the lack of subsidies for policies of management of this resource. The guidelines are expected to contribute to combating waste and utilizing this resource efficiently, seeking the implementation of reuse and reuse in order to delineate a low-impact development as a new strategy for the structuring model of an enterprise sustainable development.
