The provision of different instances and levels in the legislation that guides water regulation in Brazil provides great complexity both concerning fulfillment of the policy and obtaining greater knowledge and transparency about how water has been regulated in the country. The project aims to expand this understanding by evaluating and systematizing normative acts issued by the federal regulatory agency, the National Water and Sanitation Agency, the National Water Resources Council and other state councils. Through the evaluation and systematization, the project seeks to promote an analysis of the performance of the main water regulatory bodies in the country. This systematization will enable the identification of possible flaws in the regulatory model, thus, giving rise to the proposal of alternatives to the regulatory strategies that have been adopted, therefore, contributing to alleviating situations of scarcity and stress scenarios in the Brazilian territory.
