Estudo da Demanda de Água no Município de Rochedo - MS

Abstract

The state of Mato Grosso do Sul stands out for its abundance of water resources, as recognized by the National Water Agency. Water Law no. 9.433/1997 states that priority use is for human consumption and animal watering in cases of scarcity. The municipality of Rochedo is located in the Paraguay River Basin, which is of great economic importance due to its navigable rivers, according to the National Water Agency's annual report Conjuntura dos Recursos Hídricos no Brasil: regiões hidrográficas brasileiras 2015. However, the RHP faces challenges related to water quantity and quality, especially during periods of drought. Small municipalities like Rochedo often lack effective and sustainable sanitation systems. This study seeks to evaluate the available data on sanitation in the municipality, made available in SNIS, verifying its interaction with other data sources and its proximity to the local reality. The proposal is aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular SDG 3, which aims to ensure a healthy life and promote well-being for all at all ages, and SDG 6, which seeks to ensure the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. It was found that the SNIS data for years prior to 2016 showed systematic errors, which have the potential to be corrected by training employees, using material provided by the SNIS platform itself. The SNIS data is beginning to show conformity for the years from 2016 onwards, which can be used to improve the management projects of the municipality of Rochedo/MS and consequently improve the quality of life of the population, mitigate environmental impacts and reduce operating costs.
