Orientador: Luiz Roberto Cottas / Banca: Antonio Celso de Oliveira Braga / Banca: Cássia Silveira de Assis / Resumo: O Plano de Desenvolvimento e Proteção Ambiental - PDPA, foi elaborado para nortear ações na busca de soluções para preservar um manancial indispensável ao abastecimento público da Região Metropolitana de São Paulo. Os documentos apresentados no PDPA deveriam permitir ao setor público lidar com duas variáveis de difícil tratamento isto é, a preservação do manancial hídrico e a expansão urbana, indicando pressupostos que orientariam os programas de recuperação da Bacia Hidrográfica do Guarapiranga. Em decorrência destes pressupostos destacados no capítulo 4 - item 4.1, o Plano de Desenvolvimento e Proteção Ambiental - PDPA, lidou com questões múltiplas atinentes ao uso e ocupação do solo da Bacia do Guarapiranga e à qualidade das águas de seus tributários e é sobre este documento que o trabalho, ora desenvolvido, analisa as ações propostas. Sempre com a visão crítica e, apesar da inegável qualidade deste plano, propondo reunir organizações públicas diversas, de esferas administrativas diferentes, com relevantes aspectos de ações dependentes de esforços combinados de dois ou mais executores, o PDPA, apesar da vanguarda nestas ações deixou alguns desafios a vencer e, mais ainda, lições que devem ser objeto de discussões e comentários, visando à sua absorção no caso de novos projetos semelhantes ao Guarapiranga. Portanto, este trabalho de dissertação apresenta, dentro do âmbito deste plano de recuperação ambiental, uma avaliação dos principais requisitos para uma ordenação do uso compatível com as condições da bacia hidrográfica, cujo principal objetivo é o abastecimento público de água de 3 milhões de habitantes. / Abstract: The Plan of Development and Environmental Protection - PDPA, was elaborated to guide action in the brainstorming to preserve an indispensable source to the public supplying of the Region Metropolitan of São Paulo. The documents presented in the PDPA would have to allow the public sector to deal with two variable of difficult treatment that is, the preservation of the hydric source and the urban expansion, indicating estimated that they would guide the programs of recovery of the Hydrogeographic Basin of the Guarapiranga. In result of these estimated detached in the chapter 4 - item 4.1, the Plan of Development and Environmental Protection - PDPA, it dealt with multiple questions to the use and occupation of the ground of the basin of the Guarapiranga and to the quality of waters of its tributaries and is on this document that the work, however developed, analyzes the actions proposals. Always with critical vision and despite the undeniable quality of this plan, considering congregating public organizations diverse, of different administrative spheres, with excellent aspects of dependent actions of agreed efforts of two or more executors, the PDPA, despite the vanguard in these actions left some challenges to win e, more still, lessons that must be objects of quarrels and commentaries aiming at to its absorption in the case of new similar projects to the Guarapiranga. Therefore, this work of dissertation inside aims at of the scope of this plan of environment recovery to evaluate if the same it took care of to the main requirements for an ordinance of the compatible use with the conditions of the hydraulic basin, whose main objective is water the public supplying of 3 million inhabitants. / Mestre

Neste trabalho procura-se mostrar uma visão geral da importância dada aos problemas ambientais a partir das últimas décadas do século XX, e, em especial, a importância assumida pelas questões de manejo, recuperação e conservação dos recursos hídricos no Brasil. São apresentados de modo detalhado o Sistema de Gerenciamento de Recursos Hídricos do Brasil, de 1997, e de Santa Catarina, de 1994, a fim de mostrar o papel dos Comitês de Gerenciamento de Bacias Hidrográficas nestes Sistemas. Tratando de modo mais específico, foram apresentadas as potencialidades e as dificuldades da atuação e o trabalho dos 16 Comitês de Gerenciamento de Bacias Hidrográficas no Estado de Santa Catarina, dentro da metodologia do Sistema de Gerenciamento de Recursos Hídricos que as idealizou. Por fim, são apontadas as contribuições que a Geografia pode dar ao processo de gestão de recursos hídricos no Brasil. / Abstract: The Committees of Hydrographic Basins Management have been object of many case studies, witch show the particularities of formation, representation and actuation of these Committees, without pointing out them in a bigger context. In this work the aim is to display a general view of the importance concerning to the enviromental questions from the last decades of the XX century and, specially, the value assumed by the hydrical resources' management, recovering and conservation issues in Brazil. It's detailed Brazil's (1997) and Santa Catarina's (1994) Hydric Resource Management Systems, intending to reveal the role of the committees of hydrographic basins in those Systems. More specifically, have been presented potentialities and difficulties in the actuation and the work of the 16 Committees of Management of Hydrographic Basins in the State of Santa Catarina, within the methodology of the Hydric Resources Management System that idealized them. To conclude, have been pointed out the contributions with which Geography can suply the process of hydrical resources management in Brazil. / Mestre

Orientador: Valdemir Antonio Rodrigues / Banca: Antônio de Pádua Sousa / Banca: Luiza Helena Duenhas / Abstract: The preservation of the biodiversity of the vegetation in the micro watershed is of basic importance for the maintenance of the animal and vegetal wild life, ambient services and protection of the biosfera. The morphometry is a tool of great importance as diagnostic of susceptibility to the ambient degradation or conservation and guides the planning and handling of the micro watershed. The present study had as objective the morphometric characterization and analysis of biodiversity in the micro watershed of the Edgárdia Farm, Botucatu - SP. The micro watershed of the Edgárdia Farm belongs to the College of Agronomicas Ciencias/UNESP, city of Botucatu - SP. The program used for the attainment of the morphometrical variable was the ILWIS 3.2 version and the topographical letter of the IBGE with 1:50.000 scale. In the study of biodiversity four transects in the micro watershed had been installed, in the parts high (superior third), medium high and medium low (medium third) and low (inferior third) of the micro watershed, in which parcels of 10 x 5 meters had been installed. In the four transects, the forest species had been quantified and commanded in popular and classified families, species, names in its respective ecological successions (pioneer, secondary or climax). It was measured in each tree the height and the diameter in the height of the chest (DAP). The morphometrical variable and the results were: area of 7,205 kmø; perimeter of 11,59 km; length and width of micro watershed 3,578 the equal 3,016 km; length of the draining net and quotas of 15,68 km and 1100,00 km; factor of form 0,79, considered very high; density of draining of 2,18 km.kmø, classified as average; the high declivity of 76,98%, in accordance with the classes of declivities and types of relief of the micro watershed, was classified as scarped; frequency of rivers the 3,19 segments of rivers...
