Ocupação irregular em áreas de recarga do Aquífero Guarani e vegetação ripária em Lages, SC

Abstract: The Guarani Aquifer is a significant groundwater reserve in South America. In the city of Lages, a considerable extension of recharge areas of the Botucatu Sandstone, that make up the Aquifer, is under urban occupation. We observed the presence of human occupation on or near the recharge areas, irregular occupation and building of a road in protected areas of riparian vegetation (Areas of Pemanent Protection), and domestic effluents dumped directly into waterbodies. This study points out that the environmental… Show more

“…In the Municipality of Lages, this natural resource is at risk of contamination due to irregular occupation, lack of urban planning, drainage of untreated effluents and inappropriate waste disposal in the areas of outcrop and recharge of the aquifer. 23 Although the present study has shown a low percentage of participants discarding leftovers and medications, including antibiotics in the toilet / sink, the medicines drugs can reach rivers and streams that seep into the city, infiltrate soil and aquifers. Since only about 25% of the population of Lages is served with sanitary sewage and 40% of the sewage collected is treated, so many drug residues can contaminate surface and groundwater.…”

“…Agricultural and urban activities can irreversibly contaminate environmentally sensitive areas. A significant recharge area of the Guarani Aquifer is located in housing and industrial districts in Lages, but the municipality still lacks planning policies to preserve this important water resource (MAZZOLLI and EHRHARDT-BROCARDO, 2013).…”
