A drenagem urbana das águas pluviais e sua relação com o meio ambiente e a saúde pública no município de Santana

Abstract

The concern with sanitation services, throughout history, has been related to disease transmission. However, the accelerated growth of population in cities, overconsumption, the consequent increase in the production of waste and irresponsible disposal of these wastes on the environment have led to a broader concern. In this work has sought to show the intimate relationship between sanitation started in stormwater drainage, environment and public health in Santana system, especially in the neighborhoods: Nova Brasília, Remédios II e Provedor II. Initially have been studied urban planning, the role of state and public policies in urban planning in the area of sanitation with the main focus on urban rainwater drainage, public health with the sanitation issue and its relation to the environment. The methodology of work included literature research, primary and secondary to assess the real situation of the management of stormwater in the study area. Forms with questions relating to sanitation services have been applied in 40 homes distributed in the neighborhoods. Data has been tabulated and cross-checked with officials IBGE's data, Municipal Health Service of Santana, the State Civil Defense, with production of graphs and tables on waterborne diseases during the rainy season. During visits to the place with GPS utilization, points have been plotted and made possible the production of specialized maps of the main problems in the drainage system, generating a survey of the critical areas where the formation of points of flooding occurs and the relationship with the environment and public health - generating a realistic picture of these neighborhoods. The relationship between drainage and public health indicates the need for intensification of health surveillance, without the adoption of such measures to promote the improvement or implementation of urban drainage systems, it is impossible to achieve success in combating diseases, especially those that can proliferate with the lack of sanitation. Therefore, a possible solution would be the creation of a recast proposal of municipal law, in particular the urban master plan, with the establishment of new regulatory instruments, aiding the decision making during the management phase and reducing the error margin in development of infrastructure projects from previous studies
