Requalificação de um canal no município de Delmiro Gouveia / AL – Análise de alternativas mais sustentáveis

Abstract

Population density in urban centers is a topic of extreme relevance and concern, because, linked to the lack of urban planning, it will have numerous consequences for urban drainage of rainwater. Different problems arise with the irregular population occupation, for example: soil erosion, degradation and alteration of the beds of springs, the worsening of the water quality, as well as effects in episodes of floods and floods. These problems are not unique to big cities. Small towns, such as Delmiro Gouveia in Alagoas, have unresolved urban drainage situations that can turn into major problems in periods of heavy rainfall. This work aims to explore the possibility of requalification of an urban canal in the city of Delmiro Gouveia/AL, through more sustainable structural and non-structural measures. The work method associated bibliographical research and exploratory field and remote surveys to verify possible alternatives for urban drainage and management of rainwater in the referred channel. The analyzes show that both structural measures and interventions in the channel and on its banks, as well as the definition of environmental education programs and incentives for the adoption of more sustainable drainage technologies are essential to correct and avoid social and environmental problems in the region.
