Análise econômico-financeira, ambiental e social do modelo de gestão de lotes para os colonos do perimetro irrigado de São Gonçalo (PISG).

Abstract

Water is among the most important natural resources for existence of life on earth, it contributes to the increase of economic growth of any region or country. Its inadequate use and the decreases of the rainy season have contributed to the expansion of problems of water scarcity. In addition, agriculture, especially irrigated agriculture, also contributes to this problem. Brazil has a comfortable situation regarding the availability of fresh water, but with an uneven distribution, as in the Northeastern semi-arid region, where there are periodic droughts, and to minimize the water crisis, reservoirs are built. In the municipality of Sousa- PB, in the Alto Sertão of Paraíba, there is PISG, being one of the main sources of income for several families in the region, especially in coconut cultivation, considered one of the largest productions in the region. practically eradicated by the effects of water scarcity. Due to this, Araújo et.al., (2018), proposed the construction of a suitable management model that could promote the efficient use of water for PISG. Thus the present research had the objective of analyzing the extent to which the proposed management model presents economic, financial, environmental and social viability for the management of water resources. The data were collected through bibliographic surveys, surveys and "in loco", a survey of the current characteristics of the PISG was carried out, a description of the current standard batch, presentation of the main points between the current batch and the proposed model, besides proposing improvements. Where it is concluded that, although the PISG has been a reference for years in relation to coconut cultivation, it is practically extinct because it uses a considerable amount of water in its cultivation, which contradicts the situation of the region, which suffers with the scarcity of water. Therefore, with the results of the research it is possible to affirm that the batch management model proposed for the PISG presents economic, financial, environmental and social viability for the management of water resources when compared to the current lots. The purpose of this paper was to explain the economic, financial, environmental and social importance of the PISG for the region. Therefore, it is necessary to look for efficient ways of managing it, especially with regard to the good management of water resources, considering that the lack of these resources is one of the main problems faced in the region.
