The object of the investigation is the rupture of the Samarco dam, which carried tailings along the Doce River to the mouth in Regência / Espírito Santo and, consequently, brought to light a scenario of articulations and works around the water in its multiple uses. Representatives of the federal government and affected states came together to address actions to repair disaster damage through the making of the TTAC and an institutional arrangement, when the Renova Foundation appears. For this, as a methodology, it uses the monthly reports of the Renova Foundation and news from the institutional website of Colatina City Hall, including observing possibilities and challenges in the experience of social participation. The results of the disaster approach span economic, political, socio-environmental and cultural spheres. Decisions made around water result in institutional arrangement, interaction of interests, organization of power relations and social actors in the choice and use of certain tensioning instruments.

Keywords : Environmental disasters; Political actions; Social actors; Participation.
