Region of the Rio Grande do Norte, northeastern Brazil, consist s of a study about geological, geomorphological, mineralogical, palaeontological and archaeological features of the study area, aiming the identification of sites that presents scientific, historical, cultural, economic and ecological excellent importance, and that they deserve to receive special protection for its maintenance for the gifts and future generations. It was developed according with methods adopted for the Brazilian Commitee of Geological and Paleontological Sites SIGEP/UNESCO and by Initiati ve of Sofia for the Preservation of the Mineral Diversity of the Planet, objectifying the description of the main sites, the its environmental problematic and proposal of protectionistic measures. Seven sites with features and typical structures had been identified that they deserve to be aim of protection. In the Acari town, three sites had been identified: geological -geomorphologicalarchaeological site Barra of the Carna?ba; geological-geomorphological site of the Gargalheiras; and geological-geomorphological site Bico of Arara. In Carna?ba of the Dantas, the geomorphological complex river of the Bojo that possesss canyons and deep throats, with rocky-arts registers of the three great rocky-arts traditions of northeast: Northeast Serid? Sub-tradition, Wasteland and Itaquatiara. In the Currais Novos town, 3 sites had been also identified: geomorphological site Canyon of the Apertados; geomorphological-archaeological-palaeontological complex of the Totor?; e, geologicalmineralogical site Breju?. Because to the environmental problematic that it involves each one of the identified sites, it is proposed, as a guarantee of protection to these sites, its economic exploitation with the ecogeotouristic activity, that it aims at to the integration of the community in programs of environmental education and others, besides providing to the generation of job and income for the towns. Finally, a series of measures is suggested that they aim at to the efectivation of the activity and to the protection of the sites that they can be classified as natural heritage, in accordance with the denomination of UNESCO, in its program World Natural Heritage / S?tios Geol?gicos e Geomorfol?gicos dos Munic?pios de Acari, Carna?ba dos Dantas e Currais Novos, Regi?o Serid? do Rio Grande do Norte, trata-se de um estudo sobre as caracter?sticas geol?gicas, geomorfol?gicas, mineral?gicas, paleontol?gicas e arqueol?gicas da ?rea de estudo, visando ? identifica??o de s?tios que apresentem relevante import?ncia cient?fica, cultural, paisag?stica, hist?rica, econ?mica e ecol?gica e que mere?am receber prote??o especial para a sua manuten??o para as presentes e futuras gera??es. Foi desenvolvido com base nos m?todos adotados pela Comiss?o Brasileira de S?tios Geol?gicos e Paleontol?gicos SIGEP/UNESCO e pela Iniciativa de Sofia para a Preserva??o da Diversidade Mineral do Planeta, objetivando a descri??o dos principais s?tios, sua problem?tica ambiental e a proposi??o de medidas protecionistas. Foram identificados um total de 7 s?tios com caracter?sticas e fei??es t?picas que merecem ser alvo de prote??o. No munic?pio de Acari, foram identificados tr?s s?tios: s?tio geol?gicogeomorfol?gico- arqueol?gico Barra da Carna?ba; sitio geol?gico-geomorfol?gico do Gargalheiras; e s?tio geol?gico-geomorfol?gico Bico da Arara. Em Carna?ba dos Dantas, o complexo geomorfol?gico Riacho do Bojo que possui canyons e gargantas profundas, com registros rupestres das tr?s grandes tradi??es de pinturas rupestres do nordeste: Nordeste Sub-tradi??o Serid?, Agreste e Itaquatiara. No munic?pio de Currais Novos, tamb?m foram identificados 3 s?tios: sito geomorfol?gico Canyon dos Apertados; complexo geomorfol?gicoarqueol?gico- paleontol?gico do Totor?; e, s?tio geol?gico-mineral?gico Breju?. A partir da problem?tica ambiental que envolve cada um dos s?tios identificados, prop?e-se, como garantia de prote??o a estes s?tios, o seu aproveitamento econ?mico com a atividade ecogeotur?stica, que visa ? integra??o da comunidade em programas de educa??o ambiental entre outros, al?m de proporcionar a gera??o de emprego e renda para os munic?pios. Por fim, sugere-se uma s?rie de medidas que visam ? efetiva??o da atividade e ? prote??o dos s?tios que podem ser classificados como patrim?nio natural, de acordo com a denomina??o da UNESCO, em seu programa Patrim?nio Natural da Humanidade

River watershed, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. It has an emphasis on the amount of surface water available in this region, to provide a sustainable water supply. Based on data and information collected from public departments responsible for the management of the water resources of the Rio Grande do Norte state, well as on researches related to water resources , a watershed balance was done, and the results suggested the transposition of the waters from the Piranhas-A?u river watershed taken from the Oiticica and Armando Ribeiro Gon?alves reservoirs, integrated with the construction of 2 hidroelectrical plants and 2 elevation stations, to pump the amount of water needed to the expected demand in some public dams of the region until 2020. So, with the use of the surface water potential that exists in the region, it was demonstrated that, on the contrary of the public policies implemented in the past and in the current by the federal and state realm, it is possible to supply the currently water demands and also the future ones, in a sustainable way, without the need of importing outter water to the respective watershed. Finally, it was proposed the implementation of the Water Resources Plan in the Serid? region WRPS, aiming at providing an auto-sustainable development by significantly diminishing the effects of the dry seasons in that region, by considering the economic, social and environmental sustainability / O presente trabalho tem o prop?sito de planejar a utiliza??o e o manejo necess?rio dos recursos h?dricos da bacia do rio Serid?, no Estado do Rio Grande do Norte, com ?nfase na quantidade de ?gua superficial dispon?vel na regi?o, para abastecimento humano priorit?rio, de forma sustent?vel. Com base nos dados e informa??es coletadas junto aos ?rg?os p?blicos respons?veis pela gest?o dos recursos h?dricos no Estado do Rio Grande do Norte, bem como em outros trabalhos relacionados ? linha de pesquisa recursos h?dricos , foi efetuado o balan?o h?drico da bacia em estudo, cujo resultado sugeriu a transposi??o de ?guas da bacia do rio Piranhas-A?u, atrav?s da capta??o nas Barragens Oiticica e Eng? Armando Ribeiro Gon?alves, de modo integrado ? constru??o de 02 (duas) centrais hidrel?tricas e 02 (duas) esta??es elevat?rias, para bombear a ?gua necess?ria ? demanda prevista para o horizonte do ano 2020, para alguns a?udes p?blicos mais importantes da regi?o. Assim, com o aproveitamento do potencial h?drico superficial existente na regi?o, foi demonstrado que, ao contr?rio das pol?ticas p?blicas implementadas no passado e atuais pelos governos federal e estadual, pode-se atender ?s demandas h?dricas atualmente existentes e ?s futuras, de modo sustent?vel, sem a necessidade de importa??o de ?gua ex?gena ? bacia da regi?o. Por fim, foi proposta a implanta??o do Plano de Recursos H?dricos do Serid? PRHS, cujo principal objetivo consiste em propiciar o desenvolvimento auto-sustent?vel, diminuindo significativamente os efeitos das secas na regi?o Serid?, RN, com base nos princ?pios b?sicos de sustentabilidade econ?mica, social e ambiental, que nortearam o estudo
