Obstrução do sistema hídrico urbano no centro de Corrente - PI

Abstract

The study addresses the impacts of obstruction of the urban hydro system in the center of Corrente-PI, highlighting the accumulation of solid waste and its environmental and social consequences. The objective is to analyze the main effects of this obstruction, highlighting the damage caused by flooding and risks to public health. The research used a qualitative-quantitative approach, collecting data on the conditions of hydro systems. 11 points in the city center were analyzed, including photographic records and the use of GPS for mapping. The data was processed on the QGIZ platform to identify critical areas. The results showed that most drainage devices are in poor condition, with a large accumulation of solid waste, worsening flooding and increasing risks to public health. The population’s lack of awareness about correct waste disposal also contributes to the problem. The study concludes that obstruction of the hydro system by solid waste is a serious problem in Corrente-PI, requiring integrated actions. The implementation of na Urban Drainage Master Plan, combined with educational campaigns and infrastructure improvements, is essential to minimize negative impacts
