Resumen:
The degradation of a reservoir of shallow water is directly linked to the type of land
use in the corresponding basin drain. In this perspective, to an depth understanding of the
conditions of this ecosystem, is essential the realization of a an environmental diagnosis in
this area. The purpose of this research was to analyze environmental conditions existing in the
Weir Arrojado. For both, the methodological procedures that supported this study occurred in
a systematic way and have been a result of qualitative analysis, descriptive nature, with
observation, recording and establish correlation between facts and phenomena. The analysis
of the data was performed based on the deductive method. This study were identified througt
the main land uses in the drainage basin of the Arrojado, which are agriculture, livestock and
plant extraction, with the location of the main sources of degradation and the indication of the
main consequences of actions and practiced activities, which are the source of eutrophication,
loss of floristic biodiversity, water pollution by domestic sewage and, in generally, the
reduction in the quality of the ecosystem as a whole, especially of the landscape aesthetics. It
follows that the numerous inappropriate human activities in consonance with the lack of
environmental education of the population and the absence of any kind of regulation by the
government are the aspect of the whole problematic raised.
