COMPARED WATER GOVERNANCE

It is essential to think of the water crisis as being on a global scale, in the context of an environmental crisis that is also global. In this way, the present work looked at the issue of comparative water governance by randomly selecting some models from countries other than Brazil. Therefore, the objective pursued here is to describe and analyze the water governance models of Israel, South Africa, Mexico, Australia, Spain and the United States, as part of a larger survey that was conducted recently. It used the deductive method, with document analysis and bibliographic study and bibliographic review. The complexity of water governance was verified due to its multiple uses and because there are several public and private actors involved. The problem of scarcity, whether due to the absence of water or to its existence in a polluted form, is a fact in several nations requiring the ap-plication of integrated and supranational solutions.
