Abstract

About 70% of our planet's surface is made up of water. However, water is a finite natural resource. The increase in industrial activity and the consequent population growth have caused the increase in consumption and water waste to reach very high levels. Thus, starting from an exploratory qualitative bibliographical research, the present study aims to present civil liability and the legal framework that protects water resources in Brazil. By giving a satisfactory conclusion to the problem that guided the efforts made in the research, the work proves to be relevant both for the academic and professional field and for society, since understanding the legislation that covers this theme is essential, after all, a new approach to water as a A strategic natural resource, no longer seen as an infinitely abundant commodity, has gained a significant profile. However, the conclusions obtained were that, unfortunately, the fight for the regulated use of the most valuable natural resource, unfortunately, is not seen with the necessary intensity. In addition to legal protection, society needs to have the proper awareness to make good use of.
