  • Summary

    The paper investigates the Peruípe, Itanhém, and Jucuruçu River Basin Committee (CBHPIJ), located at the Southern end of the state of Bahia, Brazil. The aim is to comprehend the factors and conditions that impede the effective operation of the Committee. Theoretically, the study follows the Institutional Analysis Development – Social Ecological System framework (IAD-SES) built by Ostrom (1990, 2009), which presents eight design principles representing an ideal type of analysis of relations between society, economy, and environment. This model allows the comparison between reality and the ideal-type and, thus, the comprehension of difficulties faced by the CBHPIJ. Fourteen members of the management system and 10 water users were interviewed. The research findings reveal that the committee lacks recognition from users and that everyone needs to recognize limits and biophysical conditions, enforce rules with equity, and respect the heterogeneity of the community involved according to their various narratives.
