Governance Contributions for the Revitalization …
489
Regarding the challenges presented, it was noticed that the main contributions of
governance are related to: (1) decentralization of environmental monitoring of the
quality of the waters of the river Belém, enabling a dense monitoring network and
an annual frequency of sampling that meets the legislation environmental; (2) overcoming sectoral public policies; (3) greater environmental awareness and proactivity
of society in general in applying alternatives that diminish the impacts caused to that
basin.
The application of governance instruments emerges as a way of optimizing the
management of water resources located in urban areas. Involving all those interested
in the best use and conservation of these resources and subsidizing the public power
in actions to regularize these spaces, mitigation of socio-environmental impacts and
improving the quality of life of the municipal population as a whole. Therefore,
it is understood that, with appropriate management tools, it is possible to reduce
vulnerability and, at the same time, contribute to improving the quality of life and
conscious use of the Belém river basin.
