Abstract
This article discusses the policies and instruments for water management from the crea-
tion of the Watershed Committees as organisms for planning, management and regula-
tion of water resources. The study presents this management model instituted in Brazil,
covering national politics and state resources, and highlighting the difficulties and pos-
sibilities of action of Basin Committees created in the state of Bahia, focusing specifi-
cally on the Comitê de Bacia Hidrográfica do Recôncavo Norte e Inhambupe. The data
relating to the operation of this committee were obtained through the minutes of plenary
meetings held between 2008 and 2012, available on the website of INGA (currently IN-
EMA). The study indicates that this management model has limitations that need to be
overcome so that the committee can reach its full operation, fulfilling its purpose.
