【 摘 要 】

: The transposition of the São Francisco river is a project of integration of its hydrographicbasin with those of the Northeast, involving the states of Ceará, Paraíba, Rio Grande do Norte andPernambuco in a process of water synergy, benefiting irrigation through channels, reaching Two axes ofthe northeastern region; The north axis that reaches the cities of Pernambuco, Paraíba, Rio Grande doNorte and Ceará; And, the east axis that covers regions of the agreste Pernambucano and Paraíba. Theobjective of this work was to present a physical picture of the Northeastern region, a bibliographicalsurvey to understand the São Francisco River transposition project and repercussions on the environmentand to address water reuse. Knowledge of the situation in the northeastern region leads to anunderstanding of the low rainfall and the importance of the São Francisco river, with social contradictionssurrounding its transposition, having seen the environmental impacts arising and supported in socialaspects. The environmental management of the semi-arid region is based on social, political and economicparameters discussed in seminars and popular assemblies among those who know the basin of the SãoFrancisco river and the consequences of its transposition in its axes fixed in the project. Thistransposition proposes the water supply of cities that suffer from the consequences of droughts, howeverthe obstacles marked by an incompatible infrastructure with the regional physical structure, generatesocial conflicts around the stabilization of the quantity and quality of the water coming from thetransposition, being Reflected in the flow of the river that in some points becomes insufficient. Given thissocio-environmental framework, there are debates in the organization of government policies, plans andstrategies to ensure the performance of the work.
