Resumo:
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.
