“…The representatives of the state government and municipalities tend to be changed according to the length of the terms of governors and mayors (elected for four-year terms). An analysis of the committee's performance over the years since its creation suggests that there is a need for more integration of its lines of action with the other actors in the metropolitan management, so the projects funding could be deployed in closer articulation with them (ALVIM; RONCA, 2007).…”

Brazilian river basin committees are a democratic innovation increasingly studied throughout the world as a positive example of water governance, with some limitations. In our two-year research project (2018-2020), we aimed at activating, preserving and circulating narratives and stories from the participation of the various social, economic and political actors in the Upper Tietê River Basin Committee (São Paulo), in order to gather organisational memories. Our interview data bring lessons applicable to contexts with similar governance systems and others beyond, by suggesting how democratic, participatory arrangements can be improved as strategies that a society can explore in the process of learning how to cope with the effects of climate change, including the threat of water scarcity that grew in the metropolitan region of São Paulo after 2014. Interviews point to the need to clarify the roles of the committee and its members before society, to strengthen authority and legitimacy.

“…Since the end of the 1990's, the Alto-Tietê Basin Committee, by means of its subcommittees (Cotia-Guarapiranga; Billings-Tamanduateí; Pinheiros-Pirapora; Tietê-Cabeceiras, and Juquerí-Cantareira), has sought to increase public participation as a means to support decision making, when it comes to conflicts that involve water resources (ALVIM; RONCA, 2007). In this context, the Alto-Tietê Basin Plan (PAT 2010(PAT -2015, elaborated by the São Paulo University Foundation (Fundação Universidade de São Paulo -FUSP), is of strategic relevance, given the broad area of influence of its guidelines, which stretches out beyond the Alto-Tietê River Basin physical boundaries, encompassing an expressive population contingent and the largest pole for employment and income in Brazil: the São Paulo Metropolitan Region (RMSP).…”

The article proposes a set of requirements to be used in assessing the potential of the River Basin Management Plans as instruments: (i) of (vertical) articulation between river basin planning and national and state planning of water resources; (ii) of articulation (horizontal) between water resources planning and other sectorial planning; (iii) of integration between water resources planning and regional and municipal strategies for land use planning and environmental sanitation; (iv) of water safety. These requirements were applied to the Alto-Tietê River Basin Management Plan, which demonstrated low potential for horizontal articulation and water safety planning. To overcome these limitations, it is suggested, in the next plan revisions, the use of planning tools that promote the involvement of society in a complementary way to the discussions in the river basin committee, fostering shared decision-making between the different actors and user sectors.
