Estratégias de gestão de recursos hídricos participativa: contribuições da Política Brasileira de Recursos Hídricos para o Canadá
Canadian decision-makers are encountering escalating socio-ecological pressures to introduce a nationalwater strategy. Canada lags behind other countries such as Brazil which has had a comprehensive, participatory,watershed-based national strategy for over a decade. Similar to Canada, Brazil is a complex,federal, resource-based economy. These two states are world leaders in terms of possessing the vast quantitiesof the world’s fresh water supplies and in hydro-electric power production. In both cases, however,water abundance is predominantly concentrated in their northern territories with low population density,whereas in other geographical regions, the water demand associated with high population density lead todrought, shortages and social and economic inequalities. Despite these similarities, there are a numberof differences particularly with respect to socio-economic and political structures. An examination ofthe Brazilian national water strategy offers some explanations as to why that federation has been ableto develop innovative legislation as an important first step towards water security – a step that Canadahas yet to take. It also offers some very useful examples and lessons about how a federal state such asCanada might introduce and implement its own integrative national water strategy.
