Zoneamento ambiental da microbacia hidrográfica do reservatório do DNOS de Santa Maria - RS

Abstract

This dissertation has determined as case study the hydrographic microbasin of the Vacacaí-Mirim river, more precisely going from the dividing water line to the barrage of the DNOS reservoir - Departamento Nacional de Obras e Saneamento (National Departament of Building and Sanitation). The study area is of extreme importance to the development of fauna, flora and hidric resources of the region. The general purpose of study, the environmental zoning discusses and presents diferent results to environmental conflicts, in the microbasin. Particularly, we intendt to verify the parameters of declivity, draning density, ruggedness coefficient, geomorfological compartments, geological formations, use of land, native landscape, vegetation, as environmental parameters to the zoning elaboration. To characterize and map the environmental regions according to its fisical carachteristics in zones of Área de Preservação Permanente- APP (Permanent Preservation Área), Área de Conservação Permanente - ACP (Permanent Conservation Area), Área de Restauração Ambiental - ARA (Environmental Restoration Area) e Área de Uso e Ocupação - AUO (Use and Ocupation Area). The Zoning alloud the reaching of a conclusion that 24,19% hydrographic microbasin must be considered area of permanent preservation, 59,68% as area of permanent conservation, 11,29% as area of environmental restoration and 4,84% as area of use and occupation.
