Abstract

The growing need for water has pressured society and governments to focus more on preservation, planning and management of this natural resource, which is fundamental to ecosystems, especially to humans. Therefore, the goal of this study was to analyze the national policies of water resources in Brazil and Italy, searching for aspects that could promote improvement, aiming at the preservation of water sources, guaranteeing satisfactory quantity and quality. In 2019, studies were carried out by environmental agencies of both countries, listing the main disciplinary regulations. Results show that although both countries have different realities, they have similarities in managerial aspects of water resources, with legislation addressing qualitative and quantitative aspects of water, with guiding principles, instruments and actions aimed at the defense of this natural resource.
