Aplicação da plataforma SIG para o monitoramento de poços de água em condomínios residenciais de Maceió, Alagoas

Abstract

Access to potable water is the sixth global challenge by 2030 and therefore requires innovative and sustainable solutions. In this context, the efficient management of water resources in urban areas, such as residential condominiums, becomes crucial. This research presents a pioneering approach for the georeferencing and monitoring of water consumption from wells in urban areas. Its objective is to develop a monitoring and georeferencing system for water wells in residential condominiums managed by Monte Claro Poços e Bombas in Maceió, Alagoas, utilizing the GIS platform and the QField application. The study was based on a thorough analysis of the current state of the subject from the literature. This directed the choice of using digital tools for creating a database, followed by the development of an initial project in the QGIS software. Primary data were then collected in the field using the QField application. This information was subsequently integrated with data provided by the State Department of Environment and Water Resources (SEMARH). The main goal of this case study was to enhance the management of water resources, with a special focus on the Barreiras Aquifer, thereby contributing to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6), which addresses potable water and sanitation. The use of geotechnologies, such as the QField application and QGIS software, proved to be powerful tools for water resource management in this project. They enabled the precise and efficient collection and analysis of data, allowing for the identification of areas that require improvements and the implementation of sustainable practices. The integration of these technologies with traditional water management methods has the potential to revolutionize the way water resources are managed, making it more efficient, sustainable, and equitable. The system developed can be replicated in other regions, contributing to the achievement of SDG 6 and promoting sustainable development. Finally, the study demonstrated the importance of integrating traditional water management methods with modern technologies, such as geotechnologies, to ensure the efficient and sustainable use of water resources.
