Abstract

The study discusses the changes that involve the New Legal Framework of Basic Sanitation, analyzing and questioning the changes and their main established goals, based on the conception of water as a fundamental right of the human being, understood as the right to life. Data were collected regarding water availability and consumption in Brazil and access to sanitation in each region of the country, through the National Sanitation Information System (SNIS), to compare the changes in legislation based on indicators on the provision of water, sewage, solid waste management and stormwater management of providers operating in the country. Through bibliographic review and content analysis of the main laws and related public policies, it is discussed the history of basic sanitation in Brazil, as well as the legislation that addresses the subject until it is triggered in the New Sanitation Framework, to analyze the advances, challenges and concerns that its promulgation entails, questioning whether the concession to the private initiative of sanitation services is the solution that best appropriates culture and interests of the country.
