Paisagens degradadas do município de Palmelo (Goiás): o estudo das voçorocas via trabalho de campo
Resumo
A presente contribuição apresenta algumas considerações sobre a
dinâmica dos processos de degradação da paisagem do tipo voçorocas no
Município de Palmelo, Estado de Goiás, localizado na Microrregião de
Pires do Rio. Através de trabalho de campo, as voçorocas localizadas em
áreas rurais do município e que apresentam comprometimento do lençol
freático foram devidamente mapeadas e catalogadas. Infelizmente, nota-se
que as voçorocas continuam em franca expansão, pois não há nenhuma
medida ou projeto que vise à contenção, à interrupção ou à redução
destas voçorocas por parte do poder público local. Adicionalmente, o
descarte clandestino de lixo, entulho e refugos de origens diversas
continuam sendo lançados nestas estruturas, comprometendo a saúde da
população rural e a qualidade do lençol freático associado. Dessa forma,
o estudo de caso detalhado e pormenorizado das voçorocas, bem como sua
catalogação e identificação, propõem sugestões básicas úteis para
contenção e a interrupção do descarte clandestino de entulho e lixo,
acidentes, quedas e mortes, bem como dirimir este importante fator de
degradação da paisagem.
Abstract
THE DEGRADED LANDSCAPES OF THE PALMELO MUNICIPALITY IN GOIAS STATE: THE STUDY OF THE GULLIES BY MEANS OF FIELDWORK
This work presents some considerations about the dynamics of degraded landscapes processes, like gullies, located in Palmelo, Goiás State, within Pires do Rio Microregion. Throughout a complete fieldwork, the gullies, in rural areas, that threat to underlying water table were mapped and cataloged. Unfortunately, one notices that gullies continually increase in size and number, mainly because there are no projects in order to restraint or reduce them promoted by local government. Besides, the illegal disposing of great amounts of waste still into the gullies, affects the quality of people’s life as well as the water table associated to them. Nevertheless, a very detailed case study of gullies, their cataloguing and identification, may help in the proposition of procedures to prevent and avoid illegal dumping of rubbish and waste, reduce the risks of accidents and eliminates these important factors of landscape degradation.
