- Abstract
The article analyzes the views of the members of the Water Basin Committee of the River Pirapama Basin (COBH-Pirapama), with focus on charging for the use of the water, a debate introduced for the State of Pernambuco in 2000. It begins by explaining the concept of charging for the use of water and water resources in Brazil. It then uses a qualitative approach, based on content analysis of secondary and primary data obtained through interviews. It was observed that 29% of the interviewees are against the charging proposal. The positions against charging for the use of the water are directly related to the doubts how the charging will actually be put into operation, and the use that will be made of the funds collected. Charging should not be seen as an isolated tool for resolving all the management issues relating to the water resources.
