Abstract
Rainfall in the regions of the northeastern semiarid region presents a poor spatial and temporal distribution. Thus, to minimize the effects of water scarcity, water social technologies were adopted through public policies. The objective of this work was to evaluate, through the case study technique, the potential of the cistern project in the school involving the promotion of water sustainability. The research was developed at the Elementary School Coronel Gregório Callou, located in the municipality of Barbalha, Ceará. It was possible to verify how the water social technologies have the potential to change the water reality of a region, particularly in rural areas, being an effective alternative for the water supply of populations suffering from long periods of drought. The cistern project in the school assumes remarkable relevance, since it corresponds to the improvement in the access to an essential service that is the quality of the water, through the capture and storage of rainwater.

Summary
Tecnologias sociais hídricas: estudo de caso do projeto cisterna em uma escola do município de Barbalha, Ceará. Para minimização dos efeitos da escassez hídrica, adotaram-se por meio de políticas públicas as tecnologias sociais hídricas. Objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar por meio da técnica de estudo de caso a potencialidade do projeto cisterna na escola envolvendo a promoção da sustentabilidade hídrica. Foi possível constatar o quanto as tecnologias sociais hídricas apresentam potencial capaz de mudar a realidade hídrica de uma região, em particular nas zonas rurais, caracterizando-se como uma alternativa eficaz para o abastecimento de água das populações que sofrem com os períodos longos de estiagem. O projeto cisterna na escola assume relevância notável, pois corresponde à melhoria no acesso a um serviço essencial que é a qualidade da água, por meio da captação e armazenamento de água de chuva.
