In this context, it is important to think about sustainable alternatives for water management, in order to guarantee its adequate quality for use and consumption. The said management must be guided by confronting the scarcity of water resources, as well as environmental degradation, in order to promote alternative ways that improve the management of the quantity and quality of water resources. Accordingly, the need to implement incentives by the public authorities to promote the reuse of wastewater is assessed. However, this reuse of water must be regulated in such a way that it meets the requirements for water potability according to the necessary levels so that it does not harm the health of living beings and, likewise, does not continue to degrade the environment. In turn, this study proposes the implementation of extrafiscality, in order to promote access to water treatment techniques for reuse, as well as the institution of the contribution of economic intervention on the use of drinking water in agriculture, and in opportunity to motivate rational use and that its resources can be used to invest in water reuse techniques. Such intervention in the economic domain constitutes a State measure to implement sustainability policies and serves the public interest, through an instrument authorized by the Brazilian constitutional order.展开更多
