Abstract

The management of Brazilian water resources is conducted through a system that possesses a holistic perspective on all aspects involving water management. Additionally, this system seeks to reconcile strategically important sectors of the country for the sake of water management. Minas Gerais is a state that plays a crucial role in the country when considering economic, social, and environmental aspects. Thus, understanding the water resources management system in Minas Gerais is fundamental for achieving cohesion in the management process at the national level. That said, this study evaluates the relationship between the water resources regulations in force at the aforementioned levels, traversing certain fields of water management in Minas Gerais and Brazil. It is evident that Minas Gerais plays a significant role in the management of water resources under its jurisdiction.
