Résumé:
Water resources represent one of the essential aspects for the maintenance of terrestrial life in the entire context, ranging from our consumption for our own survival, as well as for agricultural production, economic development, so that the needs of all living beings are met. In view of this, the study aimed to identify the meteorological and hydrological potentialities in the surroundings of the Pilões dam, as well as the community's perception of the socio-environmental-educational and agro-industrial conditions of the region. From this perspective, bibliographic and documentary research and the application of questionnaires in the community of the studied area were adopted as a methodology. The results obtained show an instability in rainfall during the period studied between 1994 and 2019, with periods of drought in the region. However, according to the data collected during the application of the questionnaires, the practice of economic activities and the beginning of agro-industrial development were evidenced, that is, even though there are no industries in the area studied, the population sells products from agriculture and livestock. It is concluded from the analysis of the perception of the residents that they attribute importance to the spring, as well as the desire for the implementation and development of one or more agro-industries in the community, thus configuring more development, as well as job creation for the community of Pilões. in this scenario, the Pilões dam is a natural asset of immeasurable value for the entire community.
