This study aims at identifying the practices of water use management and the business performance in industries in the Brazilian mineral sector. To this end, a descriptive and quantitative study was developed, using the survey method, in industries associated with the Brazilian Mining Institute - IBRAM.

The business performance was measured from a model involving the following dimensions: economic, environmental and social.
