Water Management Boards (Program for the Social Management of Water and the Environment of Watersheds - GSAAC)
The Program for the Social Management of Water and the Environment of Watersheds (Span. GSAAC) is a program of management and administration for the regional watersheds and local micro-watersheds through the interaction between the State, private companies, communities, organizations of citizens / users and technical bodies for the formulation of specific diagnoses and responses for each zone. Under this program, Water Management Boards are formed, processes of analysis and the exchange of knowledge and opinions are carried out, which are then considered for the formulation of proposals for resource management and the execution of water policies. At the regional and local level, this management is carried out jointly with the citizens through dialogues, proposals and coordinated decisions.
