Negative and Positive Impacts, and Mitigating Proposals in Watersheds: A case study of the Imboassica Lagoon Watershed (Macaé-RJ)
Keywords:
Imboassica Lagoon Watershed. Environmental impacts. Conservation Unit.Abstract
Located in the Norte-Fluminense region, the Imboassica Lagoon watershed has suffered several interventions over the past 40 years which contributed to countless environmental impacts. Within this context, the objective of this review is to highlight the environmental impacts suffered by this watershed, and the mitigation proposals currently under discussion. Results indicate that the main negative impacts are: (i) the discharge of effluents; (ii) siltation; and (iii) deforestation. As positive impacts, we point out the implementation of Sewage Treatment Plant in the region. As a conclusion, the proposal to create a conservation unit in the watershed is ratified with the aim of mitigating impacts and conservation of such environment.Downloads
