Normatização e regulamentação do reúso da água no Brasil : a necessidade de instrumentos jurídicos específicos no âmbito federal

Abstract

Access to water and sanitation gain more relevance in a scenario of global warming, hyper-consumerism, where human beings increase the degradation of the environment they live in, putting at risk many of the natural resources essential for their survival, dignity and maintenance of entire ecosystem. In this context, water gains extreme relevance and its protection is essential. The fundamental human right to access to water and sanitation ends up guaranteeing not only life, but also the realization of several other fundamental rights. Therefore, given the current reality and the perspective of the future, there is a need to adopt new postures, initiatives and policies that support the conservation of water and a better use of it. The search for other sources or forms of water supply becomes urgent and essential, and the adoption of new behaviors and practices becomes the only way left to maintain a dignified life for human beings and the entire Planet, leaving the reuse as one of the closest alternatives and with great potential both in urban and rural areas. However, for this practice to be effective and to grow, it is necessary for there to be standardization and regulation, in the federal hold, which will have to dictate norms, guidelines, foundations, and guarantee safety to everyone involved. However, Brazil lacks legislation on reuse at the federal level, having only many legislative initiatives that do not advance as reality demands, making it difficult or even discouraging reuse projects or actions. The present work aims to make a study of some aspects of hydrology, and in particular that of Brazil, which is very important for us to understand the context in which we find ourselves and demystify erroneous ideas about the apparent abundance and availability in our country. Furthermore, the analysis of the Brazilian situation in relation to SDG 6, and the study of some characteristics of the country's population, contribute to our understanding and understanding of the origins and scenarios of existing socio-environmental impacts. We will use document analysis, in addition to bibliographic and legislative research, with the aim of substantiating the lack of standardization and regulation of water reuse in Brazil, carrying out a critical analysis reflective of the need for specific legal instruments at the federal level, as this is explicit in the Constitution Federal competence of the federal entity in relation to water.
