Education for water

The water as subject in the education context should be boarded from several perspectives. With a view to the current discussions regarding the socio-environmental crisis, we believe that the education for the water should be carried out from two dimensions: spatial and temporal, the last one considering geological time and human history and without these perspectives are not possible to face the fragmentation of the knowledge that predominates in scholar environment. For a construction of a new knowledge, the hydrographic basin as a unity of study provides an integrated vision, aided by Geosciences and interdisciplinary methodologies.
