Impactos ambientais na bacia hidrográfica do riacho Reginaldo, Maceió - Alagoas

Abstract

This work aimed to identify the environmental impacts caused by inadequate waste disposal and the release of raw sewage in the Reginaldo stream basin and its surroundings, located in the urban area of the municipality of Maceió, state of Alagoas - Brazil. Like most cities in Brazil, the city of Maceió has several problems related to garbage collection and basic sanitation. The inappropriate disposal of effluents can generate numerous impacts on the environment and the community, such as compromising the quality of water in water bodies, however, the treatment of effluents is very important for preserving the quality of water bodies and the health of the population. The complexity of the processes of degradation and recovery of the environment is due to the countless biological, physical-chemical and anthropic phenomena. Such concern is due to the fact that such resources are linked to environmental impacts, such as: undue occupation of land, indiscriminate use of water, deforestation of riparian forests, sedimentation, silting, construction of dams, diversion of watercourses, erosion, salinization , contamination, waterproofing, compaction, reduction of organic matter, among other degradations. The results presented through this work, show the importance of the plan and the monitoring and control of basic sanitation in reducing the environmental impacts on the anthropic environment, the measures taken can reduce or even remedy the problems generated in the watershed of the Reginaldo creek. To carry out this work, the methodology used was a Bibliographic Review Survey. To this end, help was sought in books, magazines and articles from the Google Scholar and Sciello databases, which could offer theoretical references consistent with the theme presented, providing subsidy for the construction of the work.
