The aim is still a focus on ways of cleaning and care of the management of water consumed by the community. The cisterns have emerged as a way of solution for coexistence and can be related to natural features of the region. Many programs and projects were created aiming at the implementation of the reservoirs, the acting are the government and some NGOs, they stand out from the ASA (Articulation of Brazilian Semiarid) with his project One Million Cisterns (P1MC) which aims to build one million tanks in semiarid northeast, as well as initiatives run by organizations is the case of COEP (Committee of Entities in the Fight Against Hunger and for Life), responsible for the construction of tanks in the area studied here.
