Resumo
Community Cooperation Agreements (ACCs) are management instruments created by the State Water Resources Agency (AGERH) of Espírito Santo (ES), to be used in water scarcity scenarios, aiming to support negotiations on shared uses of water, in a way to prevent conflicts from occurring. Despite the fact that the State Water Resources Policy have instruments in place, these alone are not enough to respond to conflicts over the use of water in the time that these situations require. ACCs emerged as an emergency strategy during the most critical period of ES drought in the last 80 years and, therefore, their implementation and operationalization was not supported by pre-established guidelines, technically and scientifically based, so that, sustainably, enhance the achievement of goals of its own creation. In this sense, this study aims to provide theoretical and practical foundations to ACCs, seeking to subsidize the development of a conceptual model in order to guide its implementation and to propose guidelines to assist in the operationalization of this model. To this end, a comprehensive literature review was carried out based on a multi-theoretical approach to concepts related to water management and governance and on practices similar to community agreements, in addition to the analysis of experiences of ACCs already practiced in ES state. As a result, 51 key characteristics were identified, and 25 principles were defined to the theoretical and practical foundations of the ACCs. For the development of the conceptual model, the knowledge obtained in the study on conflict management was used to structure it in stages and components, which the principles that underlie the ACCs were associated to, resulting in a guiding conceptual model and a tool that allows diagnosing qualitatively the behavior of Agreement practices. The proposition of guidelines to assist in the improvement and operationalization of the conceptual model started both from experimental applications of a diagnostic tool with actors who represent/ represented River Basin Committee (RBC) Itaúnas and RBC Guandu, as well as from the knowledge acquired from literature review. It was also found that, in addition to meeting the objective of its development, the conceptual model has the potential to be used more widely, to guide the daily practices of RBCs, beyond water crisis
