The basin Puraquequara was selected to conduct this study in relation to the evidence of the following: the multiple uses and types of conflicts involving water management in Lake Puraquequara. The " Water Law " ( Law 9.433/97 ) as a legal and institutional framework in this scenario, in addition to State Law ( Law 3.167/2007 ) as a framework for the management of water resources in the state of Amazonas.

Conducting qualitative interviews with representatives of the various actors involved in the proposal to establish a committee (State, County, and Civil Society Members). As preliminary results - this process of governance of water resources in an integrated and participatory decentralized way on the proposal for establishment and operation of CBH - P, considering the low institutionalization of management tools that represent the necessary foundation for this body political and economic survival.
