Water, as an environmental asset essential to humanity, is protected by the 1988 Federal Constitution in a relationship formed by bonds of intergenerational solidarity, since natural resources must be conserved for future generations in an ecologically balanced environment. Despite its essentiality, water is still a scarce resource in many regions of Brazil. In this sense, this research addresses the issue of access to drinking water in the region of the Mamirauá Sustainable Development Reserve and the effectiveness of public policies on access to water in the region, since the right of access to water is intrinsically linked to human dignity. The aim of this research is to analyze the effectiveness of public policies on access to drinking water for riverside communities in the Mamirauá RDS region and future generations. To this end, the methodology used in this research has a qualitative approach, hypothetical-deductive method, using eminently bibliographic and documentary means. It was concluded that existing public policies and current water protection legislation are not fully effective in terms of access to drinking water in the Mamirauá RDS region, since they do not take into account the social reality and geomorphological specificities of the floodplain region. Despite the efforts of social actors in the region, such as the Mamirauá Institute, the proposed projects need public funding and state legislation needs to be adapted.
