Avaliação dos aspectos atuais das águas pluviais e saneamento no município de Aparecida – PB.

Abstract

Over time, floods have been a recurring problem, generating disturbances since the beginnings of civilizations. Population growth, in turn, has occurred in a disorderly, due to the lack of planning in urban areas, resulting in soil sealing and causing harmful consequences for both the environment urban and the natural environment. The objective is to evaluate the general aspects of the waters rainwater and sanitation implementation in the municipality of Aparecida – PB. Specifically, we seek to analyze rain and precipitation; evaluate the sewage network, urban drainage and the environmental impacts of the municipality due to lack of planning. The study method is an exploratory and descriptive research, with a mixed approach. The results showed that the Lack of adequate stormwater drainage can cause urban flooding, resulting in structural damage, risks to human life and significant environmental impacts. In addition to compromise the buildings, as demonstrated by the collapse of the residence in the south sector of the city, floods can lead to soil erosion, infiltration in basements and other landslides. The contamination of rivers, lakes and seas with solid waste and pollutants swept away during floods negatively affects water quality and aquatic life, contributing to the spread of diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to consider viable solutions for the reuse of rainwater, aiming to avoid disruptions, such as the construction of a cistern in the middle urban environment, already existing in the rural areas of the city of Aparecida, a strategy to be implemented by the municipality’s public policies.
