Gestão Integrada das Águas em Rondônia

Abstract

The situation of waters in Rondônia, the challenges for their management and, notably, for the social mobilization in their defense are the main focus of this thesis which was presented to the Geology and Geochemistry Post Graduation Program, of the Federal University of Pará, PPGG/UFPA. In tune with the Research Line in “ Hydric Resources Management”, from PPGG, the main objectives of the research were meant to: follow, register and analyze the process the policies implementation process and the system of management of hydric resources of Rondônia; contribute for the advance of this process through the accomplishment of studies on hydrogeology, underground and superficial water quality; put into practice some of the main pressupositions in water management in Brazil, at present time, which are the planning for hydrographic basin and the environmental education. The research was carried through based on the following hypothesis: the integrated water management in Rondônia, just like other states in the Amazon, is in a deficient or nonexisting situation idue to structural problems in the federative units administrative arrangement; the lack of management tools foreseen by Hydric Resource National Policies; the abundance and wastefulness culture; and, still, the execution of anthropic actions without the necessary research endorsement or consistent Waters data analysis, in their varied occurrence forms. Among the ways to go through the current situation are: management tool application by hydrographic basins, basin plan formulation and social mobilization valuation, getting to the constitution of collegiates, such as the hydrographic basin committees, important fori for debates in order to provide conditions to support sustainable regional development, what make it evident that integrated waters management depends on technical-scientific knowledge, administrative structure, compatible legislation and society mobilization to take good care of them. The employed methodology embodied studies and action focusing the physical environment, socioeconomic aspect of land use, underground and superficial waters, allied to the hidrographic basin planning application experience – hydric resource management unit – and GESTÃO INTEGRADA DAS ÁGUAS EM RONDÔNIA 5 Catia Eliza Zuffo -2010- Tese de Doutorado (PPGG-UFPA) environmental education as na instrument of social mobilization, through the Alive Acqua Viva Rede UNIR - for Waters of Rondônia, searching to contribute for the integrated management of Rondonian waters. The development of this work allowed the balance on the current state of knowledge on distinct subjects, even theough they are complementary among themselves. The format chosen to present the thesis studies, actions and results was the preparation and submission of articles to recognized technical-scientific diffusion means, according to the following arrangement: In articles 1 and 2, aspects linked to underground waters are approached: 1) RONDÔNIA’S HYDROGEOLOGIC NATURE AND ITS RELATIONS WITH SIAGAS DATA BASE (Zuffo et al. submitted to the on-line magazine Pesquisas em Geociências from UFRGS); 2) UNDERGROUND WATERS QUALITY CHARACTERIZATION IN RONDÔNIA (Zuffo et al. submitted to the on-line magazine of the Institute Geológico - SP); In articles 3 and 4 aspects linked to superficial waters are presented: 3) SUPERFICIAL WATERS QUALITY CHARACTERIZATION IN RONDÔNIA (Zuffo et al. submitted to the on-line magazine Yearbook of the Institute of Geociências of UFRJ); 4) PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL ZONING OF THE TAPADO IGARAPÉ BASIN - RONDÔNIA: a contribution to its management (Catia Eliza Zuffo & Francisco de Assis Matos de Abreu - scientific article accepted for publication in a book of the Master’s Degree Program in Geography at UNIR). Waters management and environmental education are the focus of articles 5 and 6: 5) SHARED WATERS MANAGEMENT RONDÔNIA: action and proposals for the formation of the Hydrographic Basin Committees (Catia Eliza Zuffo & Francisco de Assis Matos de Abreu - submitted to Formação – Electronic, magazine of the Post-Graduation Program in Geography of the FCT-UNESP Presidente Prudente). 6) NEVIRONMENTAL DUCATION AND WATERS MANAGEMENT IN RONDÔNIA: performance of ACQUA VIVA REDE UNIR (Catia Eliza Zuffo & Francisco de Assis Matos de Abreu - Submitted the Remea - Electronic magazine of the Mater’sw degree em Environmental Education of FURG). So, these articles compose an integrated whole, each one of them, individually, is presented in a complete form, comprising materials and methods which were used, as well as the results, discussions and bibliographical references. Thus, the constant results in these articles bring subsidies meant to improve the Waters management in Rondônia and to promote development in effectively sustainable bases.
