SUMMARY:

Water scarcity is a recurring problem in semi-arid regions, mainly due to the low incidence of precipitation and high evapotranspiration, which result in reduced water availability and low reliability for the supply of water demands. In this scenario, water transposition projects between hydrographic basins are an important solution to guarantee access to water for the population of these regions. The present work aims to define technical criteria for the operation of water systems that receive water from transposition projects, in semi-arid regions, in order to achieve greater guarantee in meeting the demands for water with the lowest input of exogenous waters. For this, the hydrological states of the reservoirs that make up the water system under study and that trigger the need for water transfer will be defined, in addition to optimizing the transferred volumes that result in the greatest synergistic gain in the use of water resources in the system. This research will be developed in a stretch of the Apodi-Mossoró river, between the water delivery portal of the São Francisco River Integration Project (PISF) and the Santa Cruz do Apodi dam, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. Different scenarios of operation of the reservoirs that make up this water system will be simulated, adopting the operating rule of the Guide Curve method based on zones. Thus, it is expected with this research to define operating rules that best suit the proposed scenarios for the water system, in order to enable the minimization of deficits in meeting the demands requested in this region, as well as the reduction of losses due to overflow and evaporation. in the reservoirs, generating benefits in terms of access to water in this semi-arid region.
