“…A mudança de uma visão antropocêntrica para uma percepção ecocêntrica é apontada como fundamental por autores como Reseane (2010), Tvedt (2014) e Yazdanpanah et al, (2013a, pois a natureza não pode mais ser concebida como um elemento separado da sociedade. Para Selborne (2001) a administração hídrica deve convergir para um equilíbrio ético do uso da água, e para uma mudança no papel do homem na preservação do planeta, de modo que o mesmo possa sentir-se pertencente e corresponsável à vida na biosfera através da aplicação de seis princípios éticos:…”

RESUMOA crise hídrica afeta toda a biodiversidade e dela emergem questões éticas da relação humana com a água e seu impacto nas populações vulneráveis. Este artigo analisa do ponto de vista ético como o meio científico tem abordado a crise hídrica. Analisaram-se produções científicas sobre a crise da água de forma qualitativa pela análise de conteúdo. Identificou-se que o pouco interesse que o meio científico tem em discutir os problemas éticos relacionados à crise hídrica faz com que não se tenha um retrato real de quem são os vulneráveis desse processo. Para superar essa realidade propõe-se a bioética ambiental, com sua metodologia baseada no diálogo interdisciplinar, como a ferramenta capaz de considerar e unir os diferentes interesses sejam humanos ou da natureza, bem como para evidenciar as verdadeiras causas da crise hídrica.Palavras-chave: água, ambiente, ética, gestão, vulnerabilidade. The water crisis in scientific publications: environmental bioethics perspectives ABSTRACTThe water crisis affects biodiversity as a whole and creates ethical issues regarding humanity's relationship with water as well as the impact on vulnerable populations.This article analyzes the ethics of the scientific community's approach to addressing the water crisis. Scientific literature relating to the water crisis was analyzed qualitatively based on its content. It was found that the scientific community's reluctance to discuss the ethical problems related to the water crisis results in a failure to clearly identify those who are vulnerable in this process. In order to overcome this failing, we propose the introduction of environmental bioethics, with methodology based on an interdisciplinary dialogue, in order to analyze and integrate the various human or natural interests as well as to highlight the true causes of the water crisis.
