In view of this observation, is object of this study analyze water as crosscutting themes of action of Environmental and Health Law. To answer the problem, this paper will analyze a common theme between the two systems, the water, with the intention of evaluating if the competences and the structures of the environmental and sanitary system have different compositions acting on the same subject.
