Resumo:
Faced with the indifference of the living conditions of families settled, and the lack of
environmental sanitation in rural areas of Brazil, this study aimed to diagnose the
rural sanitation in São João II Settlement, located in the municipality of Pombal - PB,
Brazil, and propose appropriate alternative of sanitation in the social, economic and
environmental aspects. For the diagnosis, questionnaires were applied to one
member of each family. It were carried out still field visits and photo documentation
for the data obtaining regarding the lack and necessity of rural sanitation. From the
diagnosis of sanitation, alternatives were proposed to improve the conditions of water
supply, solid waste management and sustainable disposal of domestic sewage in the
study area. From the results, it was found that the São João II Settlement, like most
rural communities in Brazil, has no rural sanitation services. For the improvement of
water supply have been proposed practical measures aimed at treatment and better
use of existing water sources in the settlement. In relation to solid waste, it was
proposed the adoption of practices from selective collection, recycling and
composting, according to the characteristics of each class of waste. In the case of the
domestic sewages have been indicated alternatives of treatment, reuse and
sustainable disposal of the effluent, such as the bio-septic digester, agricultural reuse
of the treated effluent and bio-septic bed, respectively.
