This article explores the use and impact of voting using blockchain technology. As a result of mounting worries about the honesty and security of conventional voting methods, especially in the digital era, the study tackles the requirement for an open, impenetrable, and robust method of conducting elections. A decentralized application on a blockchain platform is designed and implemented using the technique, which makes use of smart contracts for voter registration, ballot generation, and vote counting. The viability of blockchain technology in guaranteeing voter anonymity, data integrity, and cryptographic security are important discoveries. Online voting can be done securely and digitally using blockchain technology. It has great potential to reduce costs and increase voter turnout. Using Blockchain we can secure any application and work securely for that application. Therefore, cryptocurrency, healthcare, real estate, etc. Many applications use blockchain technology. *Blockchain technology encrypts votes, preventing any votes from being tampered with. It allows voters to vote for a candidate only once. The system reduces labor costs and counting errors by providing quick access to election results. This article explains solutions to solve the above problems. Our solution is to use an online voting system based on the Ethereum blockchain. That's why we connect surveys to blockchain technology

In 24 years since its promulgation, the Brazilian National Water Resources Policy has advanced significantly in transitioning to a decentralized, participative and integrated water management. In the same period, water challenges have also grown and became more complex, given competitive demands, climate change, and hydrologic variability combined in increasingly interconnected water systems. This paper brings a new view and an innovative concept to the implementation of water management, to build a more coherent reference to what we traditionally understand as water management actions. The paper explores water management as a service delivered to society, hence proposing the concept of water management services. The concept is timely and very relevant in Brazil, as solutions to water management finance gaps are currently under construction, ranging from infrastructure O&M to other actions and administrative services necessary to execute water resources plans. The paper explains the logic behind the water management services and its relationship with other instruments of the National Water Resources Policy. The main objective is to contribute to a broader understanding of water management as an integrated framework operated to deliver final results to society, rather than a collective of individual actions under responsibility of separated institutions.
