SUMMARY:

This thesis aims to examine socio-environmental conflicts over water in the RiverCorrente basin, considering the perspective that interprets them as ontological conflicts. In November 2017, in the municipality of Correntina, Bahia, large farms owned by the Igarashi group were targeted by actions from groups and social movements organized to protest against the lowering of the river water levels in the region. This event marked an explicit clash related to the waters of the RiverCorrente basin, one of the main tributaries of the São Francisco River in the western region of Bahia state. Based on this issue, this work seeks to construct a reflection on the forms of elaboration of water conflicts by different actors involved in their construction. Utilizing a methodology of documentary analysis, materials gathered by distinct groups that shape the dispute over the waters of Western Bahia were selected – including both surface waters from the RiverCorrente basin and underground waters from the Urucuia Aquifer System. It is possible to identify two discursive fields of action, represented on one side by the Bahia Association of Farmers and Irrigators – AIBA, and on the other by the National Campaign in Defense of the Cerrado. Through the elaborations of different actors, the terms that shape the conflict are disputed, as these are expressions that enact reality and come into conflict. Consequently, a research was conducted aimed at identifying the expressions of the different debates about the conflicts and their related issues, such as governance, ecology, and territoriality. In this manner, the ontological characteristic of water conflicts and the reflections that can be constructed from this form of understanding the socio-environmental issue are highlighted.
