Impactos ambientais às margens do Açude do Rosário (distrito de Quitaius, município de Lavras de Mangabeira-Ceará).

Abstract

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.
