This is a study about the Guarani Aquifer in the state of Santa Catarina. Groundwater is a very important source both for its economic and social value. It is known that drinking water is an essential natural resource for the maintenance of life on the planet, but that it is becoming scarce due to factors such as irregular rains, climatic conditions, combined with population growth and irrational use. Thus, a bibliographic research is carried out in order to deepen the knowledge about the Guarani Aquifer System, its location and its use in that State. This study addresses: water as a precious liquid; groundwater and aquifer formation and more specifically the Guarani Aquifer its characteristics, uses and vulnerability and its connection with the Serra Geral Aquifer System in Santa Catarina. It also points out the importance of the involvement of the countries that are part of the Guarani Aquifer (Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina and Uruguay) in the search for more effective and controlled ways to use these transboundary waters.
