Reflexões sobre os problemas ambientais na cidade de Matriz de Camaragibe / AL

Abstract

Given the current scenario, this article seeks to reflect on the environmental problems in the city of Matriz de Camaragibe/AL. The population that built houses close to the river is facing precarious situations every day, highlighting the scarcity of basic sanitation services, a problem that further aggravates the bathing conditions of the Camaragibe river. As methodological procedures, bibliographic surveys, field work in the study area, photographic records and analysis of the collected data were carried out. We observe that environmental problems remain in the area year after year. Therefore, the relevance of this work is to reflect the situation of neglect in which the families residing near the Camaragibe river live, among which, we can mention the lack of basic sanitation, and inadequate garbage collection.
