Análise descritiva da variabilidade da precipitação e qualidade das águas subterrâneas: subsídios à gestão sustentável dos recursos hídricos do município de Bom Sucesso-PB.

Abstract

Water management in semi-arid regions requires sustainable strategies to address water scarcity, involving various approaches for the rational use of water resources. This study aims to develop a detailed diagnosis of water availability in the municipality of Bom Sucesso-PB, providing a foundation for a sustainable water resource management plan. In the study area, the Carneiro reservoir and the Amazonas wells serve as strategic yet vulnerable sources for human consumption and productive use. These sources face significant challenges due to climatic variability and intensive exploitation, highlighting the need for sustainable management strategies. The research utilized secondary data from governmental and academic sources, complemented by primary data collected in the field and physicochemical analyses conducted in the laboratory. The methodology included spatial analysis using QGIS and Surfer software, along with statistical processing in R Studio. These tools enabled the mapping of water sources, modeling of groundwater parameters, and assessment of seasonal water availability. The results underscore the urgency of public policies that protect recharge areas, encourage rational water use, and promote participatory resource management. The study emphasizes the importance of integrating technology, community involvement, and public policy as pillars for ensuring water sustainability in the region. It concludes with recommendations for sustainable strategies that can be replicated in other areas with similar characteristics, strengthening water resilience and local development.
