O uso de tecnologia da informação na fiscalização e denúncias do uso de recursos hídricos

Abstract

Water has become a concern throughout the planet because it has become a scarce resource in recent years, due to several factors, especially the disrespect of human being for sustainable development. Nowadays, it is imperative to create public policies, legislation and the proposal of new methodologies, processes and products that can help in the fight against pollution, waste and rational use of water resources. Particularly, the use of information technology provides a modern, agile and efficient management of water resources. One of the important actions in this sense is the water use surveillance. In this article, we discuss the surveillance process, we approach a surveillance methodology used in the Water Management Agency, and we present a Web-based information system architecture, a mobile platform and a Geographic Information System to provide a management of the surveillance in an efficient and effective way. The proposed system is already online at agency and some partial results, especially regarding the denunciations, notifications and proceedings are discussed.
