FundaÃÃo de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Cearà / Esta tese tem como objetivo o desenvolvimento e elaboraÃÃo de um Ãndice de Pobreza HÃdrica (IPH) para o semi-Ãrido nordestino, baseado no Ãndice trabalhado pelo UK Department for International Development - DFID. A proposta à verificar a utilizaÃÃo do IPH como ferramenta de diagnÃstico das Ãreas mais crÃticas da regiÃo, possibilitando direcionar aÃÃes que permitam a melhoria na qualidade de vida e bem-estar de suas populaÃÃes. Para tanto, foi escolhida uma Ãrea-piloto, a bacia do Salgado, e selecionadas as variÃveis a se trabalhar. Com base na escolha e anÃlise dessas variÃveis foram trabalhados quatro indicadores: disponibilidade, acesso, capacidade e meio ambiente, sendo gerado indicadores absolutos e relativos. Para o cÃlculo dos absolutos foram utilizados valores de referÃncia para regiÃes semi-Ãridas, e para os relativos, os valores obtidos para cada um dos municÃpios da Bacia. Com base nesses indicadores, foram gerados Ãndices absolutos e relativos. A aplicaÃÃo do IPH na referida Bacia revelou que os municÃpios mais problemÃticos em termos de pobreza relacionada Ãs questÃes hÃdricas sÃo Umari, CaririaÃu, Abaiara e Jardim e os melhores resultados foram obtidos para os MunicÃpios de Juazeiro do Norte, Crato e Barbalha. / This dissertation addresses the development and preparation of a Water Poverty Index (WPI) for the northeastern semiarid region, based on index adopted by UK Department for International Development - DFID. It is proposed to consider the use of WPI as a diagnostic tool in most critical areas in the region, to enable actions focused on the improvement of their populationsâ life quality and welfare. For that, a pilot area (Salgado basin) was selected together with the variables to be considered. Based on the selection and analysis of such variables, four indicators were evaluated: availability, access, capacity and environment, for each of which absolute and relative indicators were generated. To calculate absolute indicators, reference values for semiarid regions were adopted, while values obtained for each municipality in the Basin were adopted. Such indicators have rise to absolute and relative indexes. Applying WPI to that Basin suggested that the most problematic municipalities in terms of waterrelated poverty are Umari, CaririaÃu, Abaiara and Jardim, and the best results were obtained for the municipalities of Juazeiro do Norte, Crato and Barbalha.
