Socio-environmental Analysis with an Emphasis on Water Resources

When I walked along the trails of Granja Werneck, now approaching the Solimُes neighborhood, we imagined, as innocent children, walking through a forest full of Tucanos, Tiْs, Micos and beautiful flora. The urbanization process evolved over more than 20 years and some of the fauna sought refuge wherever there was the slightest possibility of survival. We wanted to do something to preserve their natural habitat, but to no avail. In a meeting with Geography, we understood the relationship between society and nature, and in this work we saw an opportunity to seek a balance in this relationship. Faced with many obstacles, we managed to realize our dream and we thank God for giving us the health and strength to overcome the difficulties. To this university, its teaching staff, management and administration, who provided the window through which we can now glimpse a higher horizon. To our advisor Professor Dr. Joمo Henrique Rettore and the Cartography laboratory technician, Professor Ms. Gustavo Libério de Paula, for their support in the short time they had, for their corrections and encouragement. To our parents, for their love, encouragement and unconditional support.
