Abstract
Nowadays, water is no longer an issue restricted only to a local level, but a topic of universal interest. One of the aspects of this interest in Brazil is the legislation created in the last years to regulate the usage and management of water resources. The creation of a specific legislation for the management of water resources originated with the Law 9433 from August, 1 st , 1997. This law innovates bringing the participative management of the water resources as critical condition, involving in the discussion, social actors from different segments. Therefore, the objective of this project is to present the specific legislation for the water resources and its unfolding regarding the Paraiba do Sul River’s fluvial basin. The results demonstrate that the management of water resources of the fluvial basin, through its Committee, has respected the specificity of each location as a space of political, economic, social and environmental negotiations with the objective of solving eventual conflicts that may occur because of the multiple ways the water is used. Palavras-chave: water resources, participative management, Paraiba do Sul River’s bay.
