  1. BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN THEORY AND PRACTICE Jerson Kelman Director-President National Water Agency ANA Brazil

  2. Galileo A great mind bridging the gap between theory and practice

  3. BRAZIL Area: 8,574,761 km2 Average Temperature: over 20ºC Federative Republic: - 26 States + 01 Federal District - 5,561 Municipalities 13 River basins

  4. PARAÍBA DO SUL SYSTEM State Jurisdiction River Espírito Santo State Federal Jurisdiction River Minas Gerais State Atlantic Ocean São Paulo State

  5. General Characteristics • Drainage Basin: 55.500 km2 (100%): • SP (25%) • RJ (38%) • MG (37%) • 180 cities in the Basin + metropolitan Rio • Population • 6 million in the basin • + • 8 million out of the basin • = • 14 million

  6. Main Problems 1 million m3/day of domestic sewage without treatment 7 tons/day of industrial effluents Intensive erosive process Inadequate urban waste disposal Floods in urban areas

  7. Main Water Use Conflicts Water Supply x Pollution River Water Transfer for Power Generation x Water Supply

  8. PARAÍBA DO SUL SYSTEM

  9. PARAIBA DO SUL RIVER BASIN Paraiba do Sul Hydraulic System Paraiba do Sul River Guandu River

  10. 119 m3/s 190 m3/s 71 m3/s Santa Cecilia Pumping Station

  11. PARAIBA DO SUL RIVER BASIN Water Storage Storage Volume %

  12. PARAIBA DO SUL BASIN WATER STOCK X TARGET OUTFLOW Hydrological Scenario = year 1955 STORAGE (vol. %) Resolução ANA

  13. SOLUTION..... Water Resources ManagementRiver Basin CommitteeWater Rights Enforcement Polluter pays

  14. LEGAL BASISWater Resources Management • 1988 Federal Constitution – Provision for the Water Resources System • 1997 National Water Law – Guidelines for the Water Resources Policy

  15. LEGAL BASIS • Law 9,984, from 17 July 2000 • It regulates the establishment of the National Water Agency, a federal entity to implement the National Water Resources Policy and to co-ordinate the National Water Resources Management System. Brazilian Water Agency

  16. River Basin Organization Government Non-Government WATER USERS Hydropower Urban supply Industrial supply Mining Irrigation Recreation Fishing Transportation UNIVERSITIES SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZATIONS NGO’S RIVER BASIN COMMITTEE FEDERAL (ANA) WATER RIGHTS POLLUTER PAYS ENFORCEMENT STATE RIVER BASIN TECHNICAL OFFICE MUNICIPAL

  17. RIVER BASIN COMMITTEES ≤40% Fed. Union States Municipalities = 40% Users ≥ 20% Civil Society The Committe is chaired by: A President who is elected within its members

  18. Water rights Partnership with State Institutions

  19. Water rights (nov/2002) Number of Registered Users 30/Sep 20/Jan 30/Nov 31/Oct 16/Dec

  20. Polluter pays principle affects… Urban water supply and sanitation companies Industries that dump pollution directly on the rivers Agribusiness Mining companies

  21. Pollution charges ($) defined by the River Basin Committee - RBCRevenues are used to finance the investment plan for recovering the basin, decided by the RBC

  22. EFFECTIVE SUBSIDIES

  23. needs of the poor… needs of the community...

  24. Subsidies for WHOM ? Water supply and sewage collection poor people Sewage treatment community

  25. SOLUTION..... Paying for resultsNot for promises

  26. River basin pollution abatement program

  27. OBJECTIVES To reduce water pollution levels To incentive: Water resources system management implementation Creation of River Basin Committees Implementation of the “polluter-pays” principle

  28. PRODES Paying for results: demonstrated pollution abatement

  29. PRODES pays for: 50% of the Sewage Treatment Plant average implementation costs Requirements: Achievement of pollution abatement goals

  30. Semi-arid Water Supply Program NE Region: 2.200.00 rural households without clean water Time required to access water Water Sources 3 km average distance Women and children 1 hour/day

  31. Subsidy Service Provider’s Price (pipeline services) X Tariffs
