Abstract

It is essential to think of the water crisis as being of a planetary scale, in the context of an environmental crisis that is also global. Thus, this study addressed the issue of compared water governance by randomly selecting some models from countries other than Brazil. Therefore, this research aimed to describe and analyze the water governance models of Israel, South Africa, Mexico, Australia, Spain, and the United States, as part of a larger survey that was conducted recently. The deductive method was used, with document analysis, bibliometric study, and literature review. The complexity of water governance was verified due to its multiple uses and because there are several public and private actors involved. The problem of scarcity, either due to the absence of water or its existence in a polluted form, is a fact in several nations, requiring the application of integrated and supranational solutions.
