The water problems involves two main questions: on one side we have the need for
water in the process of survival and continuity of humanity, and on the other, the
growing of nature as a commoditie, In places with bigger population growth and
intensive e diversified use of hydric resources, like the industrial regions of central
countries and countries like Brazil, the scarcity of water becomes more evident each
day. The irregular distribution of hydric resources increases even more the water
problem. Wanting to help in this discussion, we have used the town of Tucuruí, place
of deep social and spatial transformations, due to the construction and subsequent
increase of the Hydroelectric Power Plant of Tucuruí, on the 70´s and 80´s of the XX
century. We try to understand what role the County Administration had in the public
structure of management regarding the hydric resources, using as an example the
network of water supply and the many uses for water in the city of Tucuruí. This
analysis will center in the role played by the municipality in the management of the
territory after the effects of the second phase of the construction of the Hydroelectric
Power Plant of Tucuruí.
