Itaparica Water

Its hidrogrfica basin represents 8% of domestic territory and 57% of the area of the half-barren one. They are 32 sub-basins, 168 tributaries and involves 505 cities. Its flow is interrupted by two barrages for energy generation, of Sobradinho and of Itaparica, in the verge between the Bahia and Pernambuco. The waters that feed the San Francisco are proceeding from water of rains and underground reservoirs (aquferos). The pluvial regimen of the region is known that, possesss a regimen of short period, which had to the climate and the rain scarcity in all basin, with low pluviomtricos indices in certain periods of year. The basin of the San Francisco is extensive, 2.800km of extension, meets in this region a varied ecosystem, therefore it cuts five states and its hidrogrfica basin is inserted in seven states, with diverse conditions. The pluviomtrico index in the basin of the San Francisco varies of 1.900mm in its spring in Minas Gerais 400mm in the half-barren hinterland northeastern. The river meets in advanced period of training of degradation, with the deforestation of the ciliares bushes and the areas of springs, with ousting of sewer and garbage – domestic servant and industrial of the mineradoras, pans of it and the farming activity, consequence of the action human being.

This problem is preoccupying, therefore only 5% of the sewer in the cities in the basin possess treatment. Impacts that the Project can cause: It was identified 40 impacts, being 23 of bigger relevance more than, considering that 11 is positive and 12 negatives. Between the positives we can cite: # the increase of offers and the hdrica guarantee, generation of jobs and income, dinamizao of the economy regional, increase of offers of water for the urban supplying, water supply for the agricultural populations, reduction of the exposition of the population the emergenciais situations of drought, dinamizao of the agricultural activity and incorporation of new areas to the productive process, improvement of the quality of the water in the receiving basins, reduction of the agricultural exodus and the emigration of the region, reduction of the exposition of the population the illnesses and deaths, reduction of the pressure on the health infrastructure.

Sustainable Development Piagau

As in other categories of objective UC of sustainable use it valuation of the permanence of the traditional communities, that is, the agricultural group, with proper forms of social organization, and that it uses the natural resources as condition for its development. Nor all these communities recognize to live inside of a UC much less on which activities are allowed in these spaces. This article approaches the results reached in the period of 2009 of Program AAV, in the RDS Piagau Purus, mainly the perception ambient of these traditional communities on the use of the natural resources, the strategies of protection/monitoring and action of ambient education. METHODOLOGY the Reserve of Sustainable Development Piagau-Purus, possesss an area of 834.245 hectares and encloses the cities of Beruri, Anori Tapau and Coari. N 23,723 was created from the decree, in 5 of September of 2003, with limits with the Rebio Abufari, Aboriginal Land Ayapu Lake, Aboriginal Land Itixi Mitari, National Park Rising of the Jar and Gleba Purus (INCRA). The vegetation of the region is composed for Ecosystems of firm Land, fertile valley and Igaps with Open and Dense Ombrfila Forest of low lands; Pioneering formation Arbrea and Aluvial Arbustiva. In this unit of conservation activities are developed as: chestnut extration; it fishes advertising and of subsistence; agriculture and research.

In accordance with the plan of management of the unit the activities you harness proposals are: Handling of alligators, quelnios, pirarucu and ornamental fish; Fish commercial flour production; It fishes advertising for local fishing; Handling of not lumber forest products (aa, andiroba) and lumber; Ecoturismo. However conflicts exist as the chestnut extration in private lands, fish illegal, illegal hunting, wooden illegal extration and tourism associated with illegal the esportiva hunting. For being categorized as a unit of conservation of sustainable use it had the necessity of the implantation of Program AAV, to fortify the strategies of protection, monitoring and of ambient education in the traditional communities of entorno and inside of the UC.

Renewable Energy

Although the generation of hidroeltrica energy is classified with renewable energy, the plant construction hydroelectric plants leads great ambient liabilities, as for example, flooding of great areas, promoting alterations in ecosystems of the regions. An example is the plant hydroelectric plant of Tucuru, installed in the Amazonian forest with area of 2.430 km flooded, that it can compromise local biodiversity, extinguish some species, deprive of characteristics some communities quilombolas and aboriginal reserves. The elio-electric generation became enlarged in the world of form sped up throughout the last decade, reaching the scale of gigawatts. One of the factors that limit investments in aeolian enterprises has been the lack of consistent and trustworthy data. The majority of the available anemometric registers is masked for aerodynamic influences of obstacles, rugosidade and relief. The availability of representative data is important in the Brazilian case, that still it did not explore this abundant and renewable resource of expressive form. In function of the ambient impact brought by the conventional sources of generation of electric energy, one has searched to stimulate, the world-wide level, the use of sources you renewed of energy.

In the Brazilian energy matrix, one strong participation of the use of the energy generated for the great hydroelectric plants is observed that, although to be considered as sources you renewed of energy, need the overflow of vast areas, many times of native forests, for water storage. The alternative sources, as of the generation of aeolian energy, still little are used, although the great potential of maritime winds in Brazil, mainly in the coast of the State of the Rio Grande Do Sul, where if it intends to implant a unit of generation of energy with the use of this potential, more necessarily, in the Lagoon of the Ducks. An important geographic complementaridade between the potentials aeolian and hydraulical in Brazil: in general way, the best ones areas for aeolian exploitation place in the extremities of the electrical system, distant of the generation hydroelectric plant. In this situation, the insertion of aeolian energy in the electrical system improvement its performance, diminishing transmission lines. Investments in the order of R$ 200 MI, gifts in this study, considered high, require based economic feasibility studies in necessary information, with details of the initial investments, markets, processes of manufacture, place of implantation, forms of financings, costs of production, hand of workmanship, maintenance and taxation. These aspects had been analyzed in the present work and were concluded favorably to the implantation of the unit, which is sustainable economically. 1.2. OBJECTIVES This work has for purpose to carry through the evaluation of the economic viability of the implantation of a unit of generation of electric energy proceeding from the existing aeolian energy in the Lagoon of the Ducks, in state of the Rio Grande Do Sul.

Agricultural Extension

It presents practical and sustainable solutions for the organization of different spaces. The permacultura is the productive ecosystem elaboration, implantation and maintenance that keep the diversity, the resilience and estabildiade of natural ecosystems, promoting energy, housing and feeding human being of harmonious form with the environment (Mollison et al. 1999 apud Jacintho 2007). Holmgren (2007), through the flower of the permacultura, illustrates the seven necessary fields for a sustainable planning throughout generations: According to Jacinth (2007, p.37), the term appeared in Australia if spread out for the North America and Europe, arriving Latin America and at Brazil in middle of years 80. Today, the continents exist justinian codes of Permacultura in all, in more than one hundred nations. Diverse countries, as Brazil, ' ' they come adopting the Permacultura as agricultural methodology e, even though, schools of all the levels are including the Permacultura in its resume bsico' '.

(TO SOUND, 1998. P. 5) Bill Mollison visits Brazil in 1992 and gives 1 Course of Design in Permacultura (PDC), thus forming, the first Brazilian permacultores that they had had the mission to divulge the method and to create the Justinian codes of Permacultura in Brazil. (PERMACOLETIVO, 2009). Currently, are 14 justinian codes located in the states of Minas Gerais, Espirito Santo, So Paulo, Gois, Mato Grosso of the South, Federal District, Amazon, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande Do Sul and Bahia, that act in the Brazilian territory in different scales. (PERMACULTURA, 2009). These organizations work, through joint actions with the local community and governmental spheres, in such a way to foment the development of practical solutions for the Brazilian society in urban areas how much in agricultural areas. The performance of organizations, as the INCRA (National Institute of Colonizao and the Agrarian Reformation), EMBRAPA (Brazilian Company of Farming Research), DATER/SAF (Department of Assistance Technique and Agricultural Extension of the Secretariat of Familiar Agriculture) and the Agrarian Ministry of Public Works and the Economy, using methods of the Permacultura, promote practical of handling of the natural resources and the impacts of the presence human being more sustainable.

Biosphere

The outer shell of the planet Earth can be divididir in different compartment: the hydrosphere (or water sphere), the lithospere (or scope of grounds and rocks), and the atmosphere (or the air sphere). The biosphere is the alive matter of the planet. It reaches thus in the other three scopes, although there are no permanent inhabitants of the atmosphere. In relation to the volume of the Earth, the biosphere is only the very thin superficial layer that superficially extends 11,000 meters under the level from the sea to 15,000 meters. One thinks habitually that the life was developed for the first time in the hydrosphere, to brief depths, in the ftica zone. (Nevertheless, at the moment esteem that the life was originated around hidrotermales sources in the depth of the ocean). Then, in the time, they appeared the multicellular organisms and they colonized the bentnicas zones. Photosynthetic organisms emitted, by means of chemical reactions, the gases until arriving at the present concentrations, especially the abundance of oxygen, that characterize to our planet.

The life terrestrial it was developed then, protected of rays UV by the ozone layer. The diversification of the terrestrial species thinks that it was increased by the drift of the continents by aside or, at least, alternatively, to hit. The biodiversity is expressed at ecological level (ecosystem), concerning population (intraspecific diversity), in the species (specific diversity), and at genetic level. The biosphere owns great amounts of elements such as carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen. Other elements, such as the phosphorus, calcium and potassium, also are essential for the life, still are presents in smaller amounts. In the ecosystem and the levels of the biosphere, it is a permanent recycling of all these elements, that are alternated between the mineral and organic states.

World War

However, climatic changes will unchain impacts for population in such a way, how much to the animals and plants, therefore it will modify the ecosystem. Being thus, it is analyzed performance human being giving emphasis the activities that degrade the environment and places the planet in alert. This research has as main focus to tell the alterations that come occurring in the climate, therefore successive changes intensifies the increase of the climatic phenomena. Thus, it is aimed at to alert the population that if not to change our habits we will provoke the destruction of our proper habitat. With this, one searchs to show the climatic alterations and, that it has the man as main causer of them. Of this form, the effect caused of it are explanam disastrous action human being, with the objective to acquire knowledge the population. Thus, it is looked by means of this work to take information regarding the changes that the planet comes developing, searching the interaction man-environment. The CLIMATE AND ITS CHANGES To unmask the dynamism of the atmosphere sufficiently require knowledge on elements and the climatic factors.

This demands the improvement of knowledge in the area, what demand very study and technician-scientific development, what it gave to beginning the search for the desvendamento of the atmospheric system. In the fall of the teocentrismo one confided the doors for new discoveries, increasing the research for the meteorological phenomena. With this, it started to develop devices for analysis and monitoramento of the atmospheric elements, giving origin to the meteorological satellites. According to Mendona (2007), with the foundation of Organizao Meteorolgica Mundial (OMM) in 1950, it was the starting point for attainment of information through the monitoramento of the atmosphere. However, since World War I 1914-1918, that already it made use of the monitoramento of this gaseous layer that involves the land, therefore was necessary to know the field of attack of the enemy.

Governor Nicholas

Of his periplo by the archipelago Gardens of Reina, the Spanish cronista Antonio Perpi: in the middle of the spell when contemplating from those virgin places, elegant and practically spectacular of Reina of the Antilles, it published more ago than one hundred years (1889): country of Las Palmas, breezes and perfumes .la frondosidad of its forests, the beauty of its birds, the colorful thing of its mountains, the surprising thing of its caves, and pleasant of its matting and their oases seeded in its seas forming enjoyable, beautiful and charming archipelagoes. Those same the Twelve enchantments today conserve cayeras of Leguas also explored in 1508, by Sebastin de Ocampo, Galician and bred pilot of Reina Do6na Isabe. From his bojeo by the then island Juana or Cubanacn, it could inform, to the Governor Nicholas de Ovando, in the Spanish, who Cuba is an island, and not a continent, as Columbus believed. The Cayera of the Twelve Leguas is located 50 kilometers of Pretty Beach, Santa Cross of the South, is characterized by difficult navigation. It includes one third part of all the Gardens of Reina and it is possible to be considered like one of the most beautiful zones of the 70 000 squared kilometers of the submerged platform of Cuba. The labyrinth of the Twelve Leguas extends through 135 kilometers of splendid sites for the subaqueous contemplation, with colonies of sponges and great reef gardens. Tens of kilometers of length in their South coast, of beaches of high quality by the extensive fine sand strip, between five and twenty kilometers of bottoms of excellent aquatic landscapes compose to the Twelve labyrinth of Leguas. In the song of the edge of a bank they are appraised the black chorale and diverse species of the marine fauna, that constitute natural relics of an ecosystem meticulously conserved. The nature is impressive through the waters that cover the submarine platform with this beautiful zone.

Third Worldwide Encounter

Several ayseninos are participating from the 1 of October in Temacapuln, Mexico, in the Third World-wide Encounter of Affected by Represas " Rivers for the Vida" that it will be developed until the 7 of this month in the Aztec locality. The trip of the delegation composed by Pamela Diaz, Hiplito Medina and Loyal Daniela was possible thanks to the confluence of efforts of International Rivers, the Citizen Coalition Aysn Reserve of Life, the NGO Ecosystems and the Grouping Wall Mapu of Aysn Port, to those who add Victor Formantel, Victor Hugo the Go’mez and Karem Cajales, who also concurred to the encounter. By means of the installation of positions of exhibition and delivery of material the participants will spread in such instance the threats that are hung over the Region of Aysn, in the Chilean Patagonia, by the projects of dams and electrical laying that as much HidroAysn as Austral Energy glide to construct in the zone, in which it sees itself like the beginning of the outpost of intervention of great part of the rivers of the zone. They will take the opportunity to interchange experiences and strategies to defend the territories and communities, since in the encounter will participate thousands of representatives of 64 countries. Within those who have visited stand includes the invetigador Patrick McCully, author of the book " Silenciados&quot rivers;. One hopes that to his return they share his experience with the settlers of the region.

Temacapuln is a locality located to the north of Guadalajara, in the state of Jalisco, where 600 people live. It was chosen as it soothes of the Third World-wide Encounter of Affected by Represas " Rivers for the Vida" , that International Rivers organizes, when being threatened next to the towns of Acasico and Palmarejo- by the flood of the dam the Zapotillo, that projects the Mexican State, to supply from water to the city of Leon, Guanajuato. This would mean the complete relocation of the three towns. On the general concept of I center, Victor Go’mez expressed that " the objective is to generate a global dialogue on the problematic ones of dams in world, and simultaneously to integrate to the different organizations and groupings around the defense from his comunidades".
