Impactos provocados pela expansão da energia eólica e solar na disponibilidade hídrica de uma região.

Abstract

Concern for the environment, given the reality of climate change, becomes evident with the increase in the exploitation of natural resources for economic activities and their impacts on nature. Authorities and the scientific community show greater concern about the damage caused by human interference in nature, given that our energy matrix relies for the most part on non-renewable energy sources and emits polluting gases. Given this perspective, ideas emerge, such as wind and solar energy, aimed at the field of sustainable development with an emphasis on the production of renewable energy that does not emit polluting gases. The fact that these are renewable energies that do not emit polluting gases does not mean that they do not produce environmental impacts. The object of this study is a systematic and in-depth review of the impacts caused by the expansion of wind and solar energy on water availability in a region. Work available in national and international repositories was used. Impacts could be seen regularly in research, which were considered jointly and represented risks to water availability.
