THE BOARD of Brazil’s new independent regulatory body for water resources, ANA (Agencia Nacional de Aguas) has been named and is now awaiting congressional ratification.
The president will be Jerson Kelman, an advisor to the Environment minister and a PhD in hydrology from Colorado State University. The other directors are Benedito Braga Junior, Marco Aurelio de Oliveira, Ivo Brasil and Lauro Sergio de Figueiredo.
ANA will supervise payment for the use of Brazil’s water. It will also act as a watchdog on the use of reservoirs by private and public companies and guarantee multiple use of water for competing needs such as electricity generation, industry and domestic supply.
