Brief considerations about ways to charge water systems and natural monopoly

Abstract

The subject of this article is the ways of charging water systems and the natural monopoly. The following problem was investigated: “How do the intricate ways of charging the natural monopoly affect public policies?” The following hypothesis was considered: “the natural monopoly, when intricate to essential segments, transforms the forms of collection into facts of public policies.” The general objective is to verify the impact of the natural monopoly in the relationship of collection and supply of water and its relationship with the public power. The specific objectives are: to verify the state's relationship with the suppliers; how this relationship affects supply and collection; how the relationship that affects the consumer is reflected in the state. This work is important from an individual perspective due to its correlation with water resources and its current legislation; for science, it is relevant due to its direct connection with the environment and its understanding with the legal environment; adds to society because water resources are of vital importance for survival and the way society deals with them today, including legal ones, will affect tomorrow, these rights being of different dimensions, however, equally important for social development. This is a theoretical qualitative research lasting six months.
