Résumé:
This paper aims to analyze the environmental impacts on the banks of the Rosário reservoir
(Quitaius District, Lavras da Mangabeira-Ceará) as well as to propose measures to minimize
the identified impacts, analyzing the current environmental situation of the marginal areas of
the reservoir. The choice of this theme was based on the need to emphasize the importance of
this reservoir and its multiple uses and also to present the environmental impacts identified by
human activities at the reservoir margins. Consequently, the quality and conservation of both
water and reservoir margins are somewhat compromised, as these activities represent
potential polluters of this source. The methodological procedures that contributed to the
construction of this work were systematically based on descriptive analyzes. and observation
of the study site, bibliographic survey, registration and image captures. In the end, there was a
lack of planning, management and supervision, through the government with the action and
intervention of government agencies so that there is greater control in the conservation of
banks and weir water. Another issue to be addressed is the lack of awareness of the
population that lives there and enjoys the waters of that reservoir without worrying about the
impacts caused. The water of the dam has become essential for survival and socioeconomic
development of people who enjoy it, having relevant importance for Lavras da Mangabeira
and from its multiple uses is considered as a source of income, leisure and especially
consumption.
