is a sub-program that aims at increasing good quality
water supply in the semi-arid region in Brazil. It promotes

scarcity would not continue to represent an obstacle
to the region's development. 
The
water warning system for the Doce river and the Sapucaí
river is a partnership between ANA and IGAM, the water
management body of Mians Gerais State. It aims at providing
an early warning on flood risks so as to minimize its
loses and socio-economic impacts in the affected regions. 
The
River Basin Pollution Abatement Program - PRODES - was
created in march 2001 aiming at providing incentives
to the implementation of Sewerage Treatment Plants which,
in turn, would both prevent river basin pollution as
well as reduce the existing water pollution levels in
the river basins in Brazil.
The
São Francisco River Basin Committee aims at promoting
a decentralized and participative water management system
in the São Francisco basin by resolving water
conflicts and promoting multiple water uses.
The
P1MC - "1 Million Cisterns Program" aims at
ensuring water provision to one million poor rural families,
who are usually scattered over the semi-arid region's
territory, thus contributing to improve their condition,
strengthening the human and social capital already present

through the enrollment of the basin's water users from
all segments.
HIBAM is an international scientific project that involves
Brazil, Equator, Bolivia and France in a joint venture
aiming at studying the Amazon Basin's hydrological and
geochemical aspects.
The

It provides access to information originated by the
Telemetric Stations as well as to data that is being
generated through daily satellite monitoring of the
water bodies in Brazil. 
The
Aquifer Guarani Project aims at the preparation of a
technical, institutional and legal model intended at
providing a sound and coordinated management of the

São Francisco basin, that would be willing to
share both their responsibilities and the costs involved
in the knowledge creation process, so as to make their
common knowledge available to society as a whole.
