Water scarcity in the Brazilian semi-arid region has inhibited agricultural activity due to large declines in production, especially food. Currently, Bioágua is used as a technology to manage gray water and irrigate agricultural crops. Therefore, the present study analyzed the use of Bioágua to manage domestic effluents in the promotion of irrigation of cultivars, and evaluated the social, economic and environmental benefits derived from this technology. For that, exploratory and qualitative research was carried out with the rural families in the municipality of Pedra Lavrada-PB, semi-arid region of Paraíba. With the studies, it was possible to identify that the bio-water: 1) is a simple technology, of easy construction and of low cost; 2) provide water security to promote irrigation of various crops; 3) made possible the management of water resources available locally; and 4) does not cause environmental impacts and, mainly, inhibits the pollution of the soil and of adjacent water courses. Finally, it was observed that the bio-water is a socially disseminable, economically viable and environmentally correct technology.
