Drenagem urbana : estudo de caso das principais avenidas do bairro nova corrente na cidade de Corrente (PI)

Abstract

The urban drainage system aims to control possible impacts caused by soil sealing, increased flow and the occurrence of urban flooding. This drainage refers to the infrastructure measures responsible for capturing and conveying rainwater in the city. Its general objective is to understand the main flooding problems in the neighborhood. And specific: identify the main flooding points on the neighborhood’s main streets; diagnose the problems caused by the lack of drainage in the daily lives of residents of these streets in the neighborhood and present possible solutions to the neighborhood's flooding problems. The justification for the theme was based on the need to know more deeply about the topic, to actually know how the residents of the neighborhood deal with the situation of stagnant water, how it affects them on a daily basis, to check how the streets are mainly during the period of the heaviest rains, in addition to knowing whether these problems are also affecting the health of residents. The methodological procedures were based on field research by identifying flooding points in the Nova Corrente neighborhood. Its theoretical basis was some authors such as Tucci (2012), Agra (2001), Ribeiro (2010), among others
