Orientador(es)
Resumo(s)
Nas últimas décadas a temática da água tem-se destacado nas agendas política e pública, assumindo-se como uma das principais preocupações ambientais dos cidadãos. Na União Europeia, os Eurobarómetros sobre ambiente mostram que os europeus colocam as questões associadas à água em primeiro plano quando assinalam os problemas que mais os inquietam. A temática da água está igualmente entre as principais preocupações ambientais dos cidadãos à escala mundial, como mostram os resultados dos inquéritos realizados pelo International Social Survey Programme. Nestes inquéritos, os inquiridos são ainda chamados a pronunciar-se sobre a informação disponível acerca do tema, a gravidade do problema, como tem evoluído e qual o contributo individual no sentido de contrariar a degradação deste recurso. Neste artigo analisamos e comparamos as percepções dos inquiridos (preocupação e gravidade) e respectivas práticas em três países da Europa do Sul (Espanha, França e Portugal) e três da América Latina (Argentina, Chile e México).
The issue of water has been standing out in political and public agendas over the last decades, and has been taken as one of the most important environmental concerns of the citizens. In the European Union, the Eurobarometer about environment shows that Europeans put water issues first when they point out the problems they are worried about.

In these surveys, the respondents were also give their opinion about the information available on the issue of water, the severity of the problem, how it has evolved, and what should be the individual's contribution to decrease water degradation. In this article we analyse and compare the citizens' perceptions (concern and gravity) and their practices in three countries of Southern Europe (Spain, France and Portugal) and in three countries of Latin America (Argentina, Chile and Mexico).
