New Model

Este  artigo  explora as  contradições do  novo modelo institucional no  Brasil, cuja  implementação vem  provocando mudanças significativas na  posição  dos municípios no  que diz  respeito ao controle dos serviços de  água e saneamento. A partir  da  Lei 9.433197,  analisa-se as  adaptações  dos municípios  ao  novo  quadro  institucional. Argumenta-se que as mudanças propostas não garantem a competitividade na indústria de água e saneamento, pressuposto dos marcos regulatórios vigentes.Abstract:This paper explores  the contradictions in  the new model  of the water regulation  in Brazil, which  result  in a reconfiguration of  the position of  the municipalities  in the water  industry. We  briefly outline the main  changes introduced by  the 9433 Law  (Water Law) and  analyze how the municipalities are adjusting  themselves  to  this new order. The changes  in  the  Rio  de  Janeiro water  industry provide  an  example  in  which  institutional shifts are no guarantees  to produce competitiveness in  the water industry.

This chapter focuses on legal instruments that take a broad view of water regulation. There are, as yet, no framework statutory instruments at the state or Union level but drafts have been prepared and this chapter reproduces the latest draft National Water Framework Bill. The next section then moves on to water policies that have been adopted at the Union and state level for some years, highlighting here the National Water Policy, 2012. The last section focuses on an upcoming area of water law, inter-sectoral allocation of water, an issue that is not yet well covered in legal instruments. This section highlights some state-level instruments that seek to address the issue.

English Law

This article recovers a debate, played out over the course of a century, in courts across the « common law world », over whether nature had normative force in water law. It explores areas of water law, such as the extent of public ownership in rivers and the effects of shifting watercourses on ownership, in which some courts, not without controversy, departed from the established rules of English law in order to make rules more appropriate, as they saw it, to the local environment.
