Metodologia de avaliação de cenários de usos de recursos hídricos frente a áreas prioritárias de conservação

Abstract

In view of the growing number of conflicts over multiple uses of water, scenario simulation allows for a better strategic formulation for managing this resource through performance indicators, relating them to the perceptions of cause and effect. The present work has the objective of proposing a methodology to identify and define areas that are amenable to intervention in relation to the uses of water. As a methodology, overlapping maps in a GIS environment will be made, of the consumptive, non-consumptive uses of water resources and irregular uses of natural resources, with areas of special socio-economic-environmental attention, among them: Conservation units, Indigenous Lands, Priorities for Biodiversity Conservation. This work applied to planning units enables strategic sectors and environmental agencies to perform a more coherent management, taking into account the greatest number of environmental instruments, water and socioeconomic resources. Thus, the methodology will be applied for the archetypes scenario, enabling the analysis for decision making through the management bodies, as a planning tool for the multiple uses of water and natural resources in a rational way.
