A água é um bem vital e escasso, por isso o planeamento e a gestão dos recursos hídricos tornam-se fundamentais. A Força Aérea (FA) não deve ser indiferente a esta preocupação mundial, e deve verificar se os recursos hídricos que possui ao seu dispor são geridos da melhor forma, conhecendo a origem, a qualidade da água e a eficiência do seu uso, nas unidades militares. Assim, este trabalho visou em compreender e analisar os recursos hídricos que a FA tem ao seu dispor, recorrendo a um raciocínio indutivo, assente numa estratégia de investigação mista e num desenho de pesquisa de tipo caso de estudo com base nas suas Bases Aéreas 1 e 5. Este trabalho permitiu verificar que atualmente a FA gere os recursos hídricos ao seu dispor com alguma eficiência, contudo, existem melhorias a realizar, nomeadamente na rede de distribuição da água e manutenção de equipamentos. Também se verificou que na FA, o conceito de reutilização ainda não se encontra interiorizado, no entanto, esta possui capacidade, após algum investimento, de poder reutilizar dois recursos ao seu dispor: as águas pluviais e as águas residuais tratadas, provenientes das suas Estações de Tratamento de Águas Residuais ETAR´s.
Water is a vital and scarce need, so planning and management of water resources becomes fundamental. The Air Force (AF) should not be indifferent to this global concern and should verify that the water resources at its disposal are managed in the best way, knowing the origin, quality of water and the efficiency of its use, in military units. Thus, this work aimed to understand and analyze the water resources that AF has at its disposal, using inductive reasoning, based on a mixed research strategy and a case study research design based on its Air Bases 1 and 5. This work allowed to verify that AF currently manages the water resources at its disposal with some efficiency, however, there are improvements to be made, in particular in the water distribution network and equipment maintenance. It was also found that in the AF, the concept of reuse is not present, however, it has the capacity, after some investment, to reuse two resources at its disposal: rainwater and treated wastewater from its Wastewater Treatment Plants WWTP’s.
