Abstract

Basic sanitation is a set of essential public services for human health and the life quality in cities: urban cleaning, solid waste disposal and rainwater drainage. This article deals with rainwater sanitation in Belo Horizonte, where floods occur every year, causing social and economic losses. With a focus on solving this problem, a multicriteria geoprocessing analysis was carried out, with the objective of presenting a priority areas map for the implementation of the areas of Green Connection and Deep Vale Connection - strategies of the new Master Plan of the city in search of minimizing the flash floods occurrences and their negative impacts in Belo Horizonte.
