Avaliação de impactos ambientais nas águas da Sub-bacia Rio do Peixe - PB e seus efeitos na produção agroindustrial.

Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the environmental impacts (positive and / or negative) in the waters of the Rio do Peixe - PB Sub-Basin and its effects on agroindustrial production. As for the methodology, the research was based on already published material such as books, technical-scientific articles, photodocumentation and current legislation on the object of study, already in the study from the field, was used the methods of AIA: Ad Hoc ( Spontaneous Method), Check Lists, and Interaction Matrix. Therefore, based on the information obtained, it was observed that all significant environmental impacts were considered adverse, temporary, reversible and mitigable. The positive impacts considered to be most important are directly related to the local socioeconomic aspects through the condition of generating employment and income, as well as to the anthropic environment, directly or indirectly, linked to the municipalities inserted in the area of ​​influence of study, besides favoring the new production activities, such as the local development of agriculture and industry. However, some negative environmental impacts were also observed: deforestation, burning, soil disturbance and expansion of the agricultural frontier. For the most part, these impacts are considered of small magnitude, temporary action and are reversible to the environment. The implementation of mitigating, compensatory and / or environmental control measures contribute significantly to attenuate and / or compensate for the negative impacts generated. Thus, it is concluded that such a study allowed an overview of the consequences or benefits that have the activities in the area of ​​influence studied, since it can serve as a subsidy in the elaboration of plans that aim at local development, minimizing the negative impacts and optimizing socioeconomic and environmental development.
