Abstract
Rapid growth and high population density concentrated in small areas became inadequate urban water resources, especially in the developing countries. The pollution of rivers and degradation of ecosystems are the result. Rivers restoration appears as a solution to improve this panorama. In this way, this paper analysed one of these projects. It was developed by a Brazilian university in response to a Public Civil Action. The actions described in the program are still insufficient and they can be summarized as monitoring of the current situation. These streams are degraded due to sewage and wastewater pollution from external and internal sources of the university, which has been proven by studies on water quality. Despite of this, the program actions contemplate only interventions within the territory of the university. From a holistic view it is believed that these actions are insufficient to recover the water quality of the rivers.
