Resumo:
In recent decades, Brazil has advanced in the implementation of the instruments of the
National Water Resources Policy, especially with regard to the preparation of River
Basin Plans, a water planning and management instrument responsible for defining
short, medium and long guidelines and actions term to be implemented to guarantee
multiple uses. Despite advances in the preparation of this instrument, its
implementation has run into different obstacles, whether of a financial or
methodological nature. The absence of tools to guide their implementation and binding
mechanisms that establish deadlines and mandatory implementation by the
responsible entities, has hampered the achievement of the objectives proposed by this
instrument. In Brazil, recent initiatives in adopting strategies to monitor the
implementation of basin plans have been concentrated on rivers in basins under the
Union's domain. In order to establish a methodological strategy for monitoring the
implementation of River Basin Plans for rivers in the state domain, this work used
tactical-operational models as a planning and management tool for priority actions of
these basin plans. The tactical-operational models consist of the breakdown of actions
into activities, guided by execution flowcharts using the BPMN (Business Process
Management Notation) notation, a descriptive form of these activities containing those
responsible for their execution and the progress curve for monitoring deadlines . In
order to evaluate the proposed strategy, the Recôncavo Sul Hydrographic Basin Plan
was used as a case study. Among the actions that compose it, three priority actions
were selected by the corresponding Hydrographic Basin Committee, which were
deployed through tactical models operationals to compose a proposal for an operating
manual (OPM). Inspired by international experiences, the implementation cycle
strategy was adopted as the basis of the methodological construction, which proposes
the execution of previous agreements between the executing entities, aiming at
meeting the established goals. The fragility of the planning of the studied plan proves
to be a bottleneck for the implementation of this plan, and within this core, initially it is
proposed to strengthen the deliberative instance, in order to enable the implementation
of the Operating Manual (OPM) to achieve the objectives proposed.
