Abstract

Despite being a pioneer in establishing the Water Resources Law, the State of Rio Grande do Sul has not yet consolidated its own Water Resources System, neither has it implemented the legal instruments. The obstacles are the absence of Hidrographic Regional Agencies, the non-consolidation of planning tools, which are the basis for all other legal instruments and poor implementation of management tools. Besides of this, there is a perceived need to develop strategic tools to inform and mobilize society to actively participate in the planning processes of watersheds at the Watershed Committees. Among the management perspectives, there is the need for establishing the Water Resources Law, through the consolidation of planning, management and strategic tools. Only so will it be possible to solve the problems presented and really protect water, this precious resource.

Keywords: water resources, management, planning, management.
