Quantitative-qualitative analysis of the status of river basin degradation

Abstract

The idea of environmental impact can sometimes provoke different observations or understandings about the natural physical environment, especially with respect to the structural issue of the substrate, as well as external geodynamic processes related to degrading activity of use and occupation alone. Thus, the financial resources that can be made available with environmental mitigation (and / or recovery) activities, and the possibility of engineering solutions are able to describe (or raise) the differences between degradation and degradation (eD). Therefore, the objective of this work is to present an interdisciplinary procedure, which also allows the merging of geosciences and engineering for geoenvironmental management of the territory. Considering for the assessment of the environmental impact, estimated and recognized degradation rates by extension, by-pass effects (in neighboring and remote areas), the intensity of the effects (such as various destruction) and the feasibility of mitigation works due to Pecuniary costs and times of return. In this case, it was verified that the methodology used, developed by Martins Junior (2014) presented a reasonable environmental impact assessment result, when observing the magnitudes of the environmental impacts of the study area.
