CONSERVAÇÃO E PROTEÇÃO DA ÁGUA SUBTERRÂNEA: UMA REVISÃO DE METODOLOGIAS DE MAPEAMENTO DE AQUÍFEROS PARA O ORDENAMENTO TERRITORIAL

Abstract

Sustainable use of the water resource is a necessity for promote access to water for future generation. In Brazil, the stats and union, in some cases, are responsible for water resource management, while the municipality has been responsible for territorial ordering. For this, is necessary the auxiliary of aquifer vulnerability methodologies, since the strategic importance of water on socioeconomic development and territorial sustainability. This work arms to systematize the application methodologies of aquifer vulnerability, advancing in construction this concept, and addressing it to geographic and interdisciplinary approach applied to research in conservation and preservation of groundwater resources, using territorial planning as a tool. The vulnerability of the aquifer and the risk associated with anthropogenic interference, promoting the environmental diagnosis that generates subsidies to indicate different degrees of the hazard to contamination, according to the activity with contaminate potential.
