Acesso em:.https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/10302The present research has the purpose of investigating public policies carried out by the Municipality of Belém, with emphasis on the goals of the National Water Resources Policy (PNRH) and the State Policy on Water Resources (PERH), and sustainable and dignified access to water as a right by citizens. The research is justified considering the worldwide concern with access to water, where in Brazil, in particular, the importance of public water management in preventive and effective way, especially in the municipal sphere, is even foreseen, even for municipalities located in a region abundant in resources such as the Amazon. Thus, the theoretical basis of the research is based on three aspects: the water management of the Municipality of Belém and the promotion of water resources in the municipality; the presentation of the municipalities as a managerial subsystem within the PNRH; and the importance of the municipalities themselves for local water development. Finally, the question of the effectiveness of municipal water management as a guarantor of trans-individual rights of access to water is based. Therefore, the methodology used is documentary in nature, starting with a descriptive research, of transversal temporality, with a qualitative and correlational design. Results and recommendations are presented noting that the Municipality of Belém, in general, does not have a Public Water Management that favors local development, requiring a system that institutionalizes it, and promotes municipal water policies appropriate to the municipal region.Acesso AbertoRecursos hídricos - Desenvolvimento - ParáPolítica públicaÁgua - ParáDireito ambientalGestão hídricaDissertaçãoCNPQ::CIENCIAS SOCIAIS APLICADAS::DIREITOGESTÃO PÚBLICA MUNICIPALGESTÃO PÚBLICA DO DESENVOLVIMENTO
