SUMMARY:

The process of accelerated urbanization is one of the factors that has exerted pressure on the quality and availability of water resources in all regions of the world. So that, this aspect added with the scenario of water scarcity in the semi-arid regions of the planet, has driven the governors to seek effective interventions to better manage river basins, with the aim of understanding the environmental picture and supporting decision-making processes to conserve and improve the natural resources they contain. In this context, this study sought to assess the water sustainability of the largest river basin in Pernambuco, which is home to the Pajeú River in the Sertão region of the state. The research was carried out in three parts: the first introduced the subject through a systematic review of the literature on water sustainability in river basins. The second segment focused on the analysis of water governance in 11 municipalities selected in the basin area and located along the Pajeú river channel, identifying the level of compliance with water legislation through the analysis of institutional, planning and financial indices. The third section presents the current water sustainability conditions of the Pajeú river basin using the Driving Force – Pressure – State – Impact - Response (DPSIR) model at the micro level (by municipal area and region) and macro level (in the basin as a whole). The results obtained consolidate a worrying scenario and that points to a progressive depletion of water resources in all regions of the basin, concomitant with a lack of investment and management of water-producing areas, as well as the protection of existing springs. Based on the findings presented here, the research also proposes guidelines for action by local and regional managers and studies on the subject, in order to deepen political and administrative discussions related to the conservation and sustainable use of the Pajeú River basin.
