Contributions of the French Strategic Environmental Assessment to Brazilian planning in water source areas: the Billings Reservoir sub-basin case

Abstract

Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is a tool that aims to integrate environmental issues into decision-making processes, usually to support the development of sectoral or territorial plans and programs. SEA is mandatory in the European Union and is applied to water management in France. Water management in Brazil is inspired by the French model, but does not have SEA; in the state of São Paulo watersheds of interest for public supply have specific norms and can count on a Development and Environmental Protection Plan (PDPA). In this research we explore three potential contributions of SEA as adopted in French water management for the case of the PDPA of the Billings Reservoir sub- basin. We conducted an evaluative case study for this PDPA, a literature review on French practices, and comparative analysis. We conclude by indicating potential contributions of SEA for the definition of objectives, scoping, and study of alternatives of the PDPA-Billings.

RESUMO
A Avaliação Ambiental Estratégica (AAE) é um instrumento que visa integrar questões ambientais
em processos decisórios, geralmente visando apoiar a elaboração de planos e programas setoriais
ou territoriais. A AAE é obrigatória na União Europeia, sendo aplicada à gestão da água na França.
A gestão da água no Brasil é inspirada no modelo francês, mas não conta com AAE; no estado de
São Paulo, bacias hidrográcas de interesse para abastecimento público têm legislação especíca e
suporte de um instrumento chamado Plano de Desenvolvimento e Proteção Ambiental (PDPA). Nesta
pesquisa exploramos três potenciais contribuições da AAE como adotada na gestão da água francesa
para o caso do PDPA da Sub-bacia do Reservatório Billings. Foi realizado estudo de caso avaliavo
desse PDPA, revisão bibliográca sobre as prácas francesas e análise comparava. Concluímos
indicando potenciais contribuições da AAE para a denição de objevos, denição do escopo e estudo
de alternavas do PDPA-Billings.
