Análise do licenciamento ambiental dos poços perfurados nos campis dos Institutos Federais de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Piauí

Abstract

This work analyzes the environmental licensing of wells drilled in Piauí’s Federal Institutes campuses, which are 21 units spread from north to south of the state. It is known that Piauí is one of the states of Brazil’s northeast with a big problem of lack of water, mainly due to the rainfall volume that is concentrated only in a short period of the year and, because of that, well drilling is the population’s main alternative to fulfill their water needs. In most of the cases, these wells are drilled randomly, without going through the process of environmental licensing that is crucial for control maintenance of this essential element to life, which is water. Because the campuses are federal environments, it is expected that wells drilled in there will have environmental licensing, serving as a reference for other cases, which unfortunately was not observed during the course of the research. It has been found that some of the cases are in process to obtain basic licenses while others are completely irregular. The diagnoses of environmental licensing and granting of the tubular
