Resumen:
In this study, the general objective was to evaluate the environmental impacts caused by
the anthropic actions in the Epitacio person's watershed, as well as to propose
environmental control measures. The assembled database included data related to the
environmental impacts of the physical, biotic and anthropic environments in greater
occurrence and in a more significant way. Initially, a check list of the environmental
impacts present in the microbasin was carried out. Later, they were analyzed through
the Pressure-State-Impact-Response methodology, making it possible to diagnose the
environmental quality of the microbasin, as well as the responses or absence of them for
each type of Impact on the environment. Information was also obtained through
informal interviews with the local population and photographic records. The results
revealed that there are innumerous environmental impacts in the physical, biotic and
anthropic environments in the microbasin today and that, for the most part, have no
response to their elimination or mitigation. It was concluded that, although the
microbasin presents a relevant socioeconomic importance for the State of Paraíba, it is
subject to a continuous and gradual deterioration of the environmental conditions,
compromising its environmental quality, evidencing also the need for more effective
interventions By the public authority, represented by those responsible.
