Educação para a água

Abstract

ForewordW ater has a major importance for the maintenance of life in the planet and, therefore, to talk about the significance of its knowledge, in their several dimensions, is to talk about the survival of the human species, the conservation of the biodiversity balance and the dependence relations among living creatures and natural environments.the presence or absence of water writes history, creates cultures and habits, determines the occupation of territories, wins battles, ends and provides life to the species, determines the future of generations. our planet wouldn't have become a proper environment for life without water. since its origin, the elements hydrogen and oxygen combined to originate the key element of life's existence.under a privileged condition, it enabled the species to evolve and man to exist and to live in this planet. throughout thousands of years, our species occupied territories, grew and developed based on such an important and valuable natural good which is water. However, throughout history, there were changes in the relationship between man and nature and, as a result, in his relationship with water.In the society where we live, water started to be seen as a hydric resource and no longer as a natural good, available for human existence and that of the other species. We started to use it in an indiscriminate manner, always finding new uses, without assessing the environmental consequences in relation to the quantity and quality of water.Besides the population growth in global scale in the last century, the intensity of the shortage increased in certain regions of the planet, mainly due to human factors related to the occupation of land, pollution and the contamination of both the superficial and the underground bodies of water.

Environmental education for sustainable management of the basins of the rivers Pirapó, Paranapanema III and Parapanema IV

“…The workload of courses and workshops ranged from 24 to 48 hours. The use of the river basin as the unit for study and research has been recommended by educators, since it combines environmental, economic, historical and social characteristics, favoring interdisciplinary studies and researches and discussion on the management of multiple uses, besides serving as natural laboratory because it enables a comprehensive and integrated view of the various phenomena and processes (Tundisi and Schiel, 2002;Bacci and Pataca, 2008).…”

“…Given the above, considering the approximations of policies aimed at environmental education and also to water management, various programs of continuing education for teachers, professional training courses and environmental education projects, with the theme "water resources" or "river basin", have been developed in several Brazilian states, by schools and universities, governmental and non-governmental organizations, watershed committees, for the dissemination of knowledge, skills, and values on the sustainable use and management of water, contributing to the various social actors can effectively participate in decision-making with a view to improve the quality of water resources and also the local quality of life (Tundisi et al, 2008;Oliveira, 2002;Lucatto and Talamoni, 2007;Bacci and Pataca, 2008).…”

Conscientização pública sobre o consumo de água: uma análise da situação em Rio Claro - SP visando à proposição de medidas de conservação

“…Os usos da bacia são determinados pelos grupos que a ocupam e sua interferência no meio físico ocorre em razão dos interesses desses grupos. Desta forma, as bacias sofrem modificações tanto pela ocupação humana, como por meios naturais (Bacci & Pataca, 2008).…”

“…A presença de água é um fator determinante, pois a existência desse recurso no ambiente cria condições apropriadas para a vida no planeta (BACCI, 2008). Além disso, água é um nutriente de total relevância no contexto da sobrevivência e manutenção da vida no planeta, principalmente para o ser humano, pois está presente em todas as reações químicas do organismo (SOUZA,2015).…”
