CONTENÇÃO DE ENCHENTES EM ÁREA URBANA ÀS MARGENS DO RIO SAPUCAÍ EM SÃO SEBASTIÃO DA BELA VISTA-MG

Abstract

Considering that water is an increasingly scarce resource, the development of methods for reusing and containing it has become necessary nowadays. Just as it brings benefits, poor use and control can also bring several consequences, including flooding. The study developed aims to control excess rainwater in the Paraíso dos Pescadores neighborhood in São Sebastião da Bela Vista/MG, through the implementation of a containment basin in the installation area of the new Barra neighborhood, still under development, due to the neighborhood being neighboring the one previously mentioned, and having a large area that has a greater connection with the course of the Sapucaí River. In the end, it can be concluded that the installation of the containment reservoir, also called containment basin, of just over 15 thousand cubic meters, will be sufficient to control flooding due to local rainwater, thus contributing to the improvement in quality of the region's residents and consequently for the maintenance of local biodiversity.
