RESUMO

Around 51 million people live in the Brazilian Northeastern Region facing critical periods of dryness and floods. In order to minimize the problems caused by the inconstant rains, Federal Government has invested resources on the implementation of programs to make feasible the strategical storage of water by means of barriers and dams. As a part of such strategy, the Castanhão dam, in Ceará state, had its construction started in 1995, having one major impact: the submergence of Jaguaribara, a city 283 km away from Fortaleza. Among threatening, resistance, insecurity, dynamic acceptance and arrival to the new land, people were relocated in another site, rising a new municipality which was named Nova (New) Jaguaribara, inaugurated in 2001. Since its birth, this city features the history of the inlander people, afflicted by dryness and disputes for the power that water represents in the Northeastern midland context.
