Abstract

This Decree provides for the Accession of the State of Rio Grande do Sul to the National Programme aimed at Strengthening the Committees of Hydrographic Basins (PROCOMITÊS), under the terms established in Resolution No. 1.190 of 3 October 2016 of the National Water Agency (ANA). The Secretariat for the Environment and Sustainable Development, part of the State Water Resources Management System and responsible for supporting river basin committees in the State, will coordinate the actions of the state executive power related to the implementation of PROCOMITÊS. The implementation of PROCOMITÊS within the State will observe the indicators and targets agreed with the Union, through the National Water Agency, with the representations of the river basin committees adhering to PROCOMITÊS, and approved by the State Council of Water Resources. Actions and public investments that contribute to the achievement of the goals of PROCOMITÊS should be considered by future State Government programmes.
