The main function of the São Francisco River Integration Project (PISF) is to increase water supply in cities and rural areas. This work aims to analyse the participation of the Paraíba River Basin Committee (CBH-PB) and the management of basins with the arrival of the transfer, through a documentary study, as well as to verify the performance of the actors who participate in the discussion process within the Committee, identifying their environmental impacts. The documents analysed cover a period of time between 2007 and 2016. It was concluded that there was no effective participation by the Committee in the decision-making process regarding the water transfer and sanitation works.</div></div></div></div></div><div class="dURPtb">&nbsp;</div><div><div class="iFgpral5dYTI-pvVKlfEP0Yk">&nbsp;</div></div></div> ER -
