Abstract

The company has shown increasing concern for the environment because it realized that it enjoys the resources that are vital for current and future generations. The man then began to understand the need to utilize these resources in a conscious manner, ensuring sustainable development, a balance between development, with the satisfaction of human needs and environmental conservation. One of the natural resources that humans use most is water. This water resource has economic value because it is considered scarce and the need to ensure that all use of the right to impose administrative and financial restrictions on their use. The Constitution of 1988 brings with it the principles of valuing water as a key to the survival of man, making his constitutional right use. These standards have enabled the establishment of the National Policy of Water Resources, which commands both the management and administrative control of resources. The issue of conservation of natural resources comes from an awareness of man, that only through environmental education, acts in accordance with principles of environmental protection, which are regulated by the legal system.
