The objective of this work was to analyze the present status of the management of the water resources in the municipality of Erechim (RS) based on the management plans, statistical data, history and information gathered with the responsible managers by the legal institutions responsible for the public environmental policies of the municipality such as the Municipal Environmental Office (SMMA), the City Hall, Apuaê Inhandava Hydrographic Basin Committee (CBHAI), the Hydrographic Basin Committee of Passo Fundo (CBHPF), the Municipal Environment Protection Committee (COMPAM) and Corsan. The results of this study were based on the understanding of the municipal plans and with the field research it was observed that the municipality possesses all the physical, institutional and legal structures and all necessary elements for the management of the environment, however, these offices have little interaction and the actions for environmental education are made in an isolated form. As per the use of management instruments it was observed that the municipality, through the CBHAI, has created an Action Plan in Water Resources, the Placement of the Water Bodies in preponderant usage classes and has started a plan to charge for the use of the water. The municipality, through the Municipal Environmental Office (SMMA), already uses the Environmental License and also has created the Municipal Environmental Plans, however those plans were not thoroughly discussed with the community and a permanent Environmental Education Program is inexistent. Also there is not a public system for the treatment of sanitary waste and the contracts signed between Corsan and the City Hall are not being complied with and there is not anything concrete, nothing that guarantees that this will happen in due time. There are also difficulties in the public water supply due to the intense climate changes, increase of the population, human activities, and the rivers being of small size and there is also a forecast that there will be drought spells with water rationing in the future. The population carries the weight of the social and environmental costs for the lack of planning, lack of actions and the failure to comply with the contracts. It seems that the transposition of the Cravo will be only to remedy, in a very precarious way, the problem of potable water in the municipality of Erechim. COMPAM has not been acting in an efficient, technical way and according to the municipal laws. Sometimes it seems oblivious to environmental issues and there is a visible lack of internal organization.

Ethical guidelines for journal publication
The REMOA is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviews should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
