| description | <div><div><em>Urban lagoon systems have undergone change in their physical, ecological and environmental issues. Anthropic pressure and lack of planning in the deployment of public services, specifically in regard to water supply and sanitation are observed. It is also noticed that urban lagoon systems have been a frequent target location for effluent discharge and illegal connections. It is necessary to build a management model that allows for the development of proposals aimed at mitigation of environmental impacts caused by human action. The main objective of this work is to present environmental evaluation methods that can be used in a model of adaptive management for urban lagoons. To initiate the investigations, a comparative study was carried out which enabled the identification of methods that can be applied to evaluate aspects of the water body and its surroundings. It was concluded that environmental evaluation methods can support Governmental agencies, once costs and benefits can be estimated by analyzing demand and availability of natural resources, particularly water resources.</em></div></div><div></div> |
