The present work analyzes the problematic nature of territorial planning of water supply in the eastern Rio de Janeiro metropolitan area as illustrated by contradictions present in the Guapiaçu dam project. Even if the project is legally based on the notion of the “common good” with regard to water distribution and is justified by the need to solve a metropolitan water “deficit”, the social water cycle underlaying the proposal reveal the basic contradiction that the dam will flood the land of hundreds of small family farmers.
