This fact is associated, among other reasons, to an expressive land occupation and soil water-sealing and to the occupation of the areas under risk of inundations the meadows and bottoms of valleys. The research below analyzes the different concepts for handling pluvial waters under the scope of reflections relative to the infrastructure works and public actions addressed to prevent inundations. We tried to present the hygienist vision regarding the increase in water conductivity up to the new environmental vision of sustainable rain water handling, highlighting the use of non-structural measures. For such an effect, we used as case study the Basin of C?rrego Cabu?u de Baixo located at the northwest area of the city of S?o Paulo that, for a long time, was object for punctual interventions with predominance of canalization works and, in the end of the nineties, it counted with the implementation of non-conventional measures that took into account the planning of land occupation and the reservation of pluvial waters. Through the evaluation of this experience we look for identifying the permanencies and ruptures in the treatment related to the subject of inundations. / Nos per?odos de precipita??es, a cidade de S?o Paulo torna-se cen?rio de constantes impactos sociais e econ?micos frente aos preju?zos causados pelas inunda??es. Esse fato est? associado, entre outros motivos, a uma expressiva ocupa??o e impermeabiliza??o do solo e ? ocupa??o das ?reas de risco de enchentes as v?rzeas e fundos de vales. A pesquisa que se segue analisa as diversas concep??es de manejo de ?guas pluviais no ?mbito das reflex?es relativas ?s obras de infra-estrutura e a??es p?blicas destinadas ? preven??o de enchentes. Buscou-se apresentar desde a vis?o higienista do aumento da condutividade hidr?ulica at? a nova vis?o ambiental do manejo sustent?vel da ?gua precipitada, com ?nfase no uso de medidas n?o-estruturais. Nesse sentido, foi utilizado como estudo de caso a Bacia do C?rrego Cabu?u de Baixo localizada na regi?o noroeste da cidade de S?o Paulo que, durante muito tempo, foi objeto de interven??es pontuais com predomin?ncia de obras de canaliza??o e, no final dos anos 90, contou com a implementa??o de medidas n?o convencionais que levaram em considera??o o planejamento da ocupa??o do solo e a reserva??o das ?guas pluviais. Atrav?s da avalia??o dessa experi?ncia busca-se identificar as perman?ncias e rupturas no trato com a quest?o das enchentes.
