Description
establish subsidies for the strengthening and implementation of the policy and the integrated management of water resources, fundamental for the economic, social and environmental development of the State of São Paulo. The vulnerability of the main regional springs in the State of São Paulo, evidenced in the water crisis of 2014-2015 and in the last two years, highlighted the existing risks for the guarantee of water supply, in quantity and quality, to fully serve the population and of the productive sectors. Water insecurity can lead to the deterioration of public health and the stagnation of economic development in the State.
In order to avoid new supply crises, it is necessary to manage water based on an integrated vision, which seeks to evaluate the technological, economic and ecological solutions available, in order to reconcile the availability of water with their respective demands.
The integration of government public policies involved, directly and indirectly, in the exploitation of water reserves must be promoted, establishing jointly planned and executed actions, resulting from careful planning processes for the use and conservation of springs, as well as in demand management and waste reduction. the increase in water security is a guarantee of development. Therefore, it is necessary to consolidate and improve water resources governance processes through 4 pillars: Management and governance; Planning; Financing and communication and articulation
Adaptability to climate change and expanding the flow of information to society; establish technical and institutional cooperation between the water resources management bodies in order to strengthen the implementation and effectiveness of the water resources management instruments, with integrated action and incorporation of new technologies´; Promoting the integration of the State Water Resources Policy with related public policies (Basic Sanitation, Climate Change, Energy, Agribusiness, Economic Development, Land Use and Occupation, among others), aiming at integrated planning in hydrographic basins; Integrate state policies and plans for water resources and basic sanitation, providing for the use of common goals and indicators related to improving the quality of water and the efficiency of its uses; Restructure FEHIDRO's management process, increasing agility, effectiveness and transparency; develop indicators aimed at demonstrating the effectiveness of FEHIDRO's investments and the results achieved; Structuring a communication plan, including campaigns that highlight the value and importance of water, how it is managed for the daily life of the population of São Paulo, as well as demonstrating the importance of water in sustainable development;
