Avaliação ambiental dos mananciais de abastecimento público de Cianorte-PR

Abstract

Public supply sources are underground or surface water sources essential for life on the planet. However, many of these sources are currently degraded, which results in a worsening scenario of water scarcity, increasing costs with water treatment and compromising the health of the population and environmental quality. In this scenario, this work carried out an environmental diagnosis and prognosis in the areas of the current supply source, the Bolívar stream, and the future source, the Ligeiro river, in the municipality of Cianorte, Paraná. The characterization of the springs was carried out and the Protocol for the Conservation of Springs (PCAM) was applied in 7 points. According to the results obtained, it was found that the studied points are altered due to problems such as disorderly urban expansion, lack of soil use and conservation practices, APP with insufficient footage, occurrence of industrial zone close to springs, among others. Based on this diagnosis, actions were proposed to mitigate these impacts and promote the conservation of springs.
