Productive Environmental Zoning - ZAP of the Sub-basins of Ribeirão Ferro - Carvão

The research aims to perform Productive Environmental Zoning ( ZAP ) of the Sub-basins of the Ribeirão - Ferro- Carvão, through the integrated analysis of the study of water demand and availability, the  Conservation Use Potential (PUC) assessment and the mapping of land use and  occupancy in the Coal Iron Creek basin.   The research unfolds in the following actions: 

  • Perform the study of surface water demand and availability in the sub-basin of Ribeirão Ferro-Carvão; 
  • Calculate the Conservation Use Potential of the Iron-Carvão Brook sub-basin;
  • Realize the mapping of land use and land cover based on the information  produced in Public Call 02/2019 (Mapping of land use and land cover in  Ferro-Carvão stream sub-basin, Brumadinho-MG);  
  • Map and calculate the conserved and anthropized areas in the sub-basin of Ribeirão Ferro-Carvão;
  • Map and calculate the conserved and anthropized Areas of Permanent Preservation (hydric) in the sub-basin of Ribeirão Ferro-Carvão; 
  • Calculate the concentration index of springs in the sub-basin of Ribeirão Ferro Carvão;  
  • Promote the cross-referencing of information from land use mapping and the Conservation Use Potential and define the use conflicts in the area;  
  • Elaborate reports that contain integrated interpretations of the data obtained and elaborate notes of adequacy propositions for the basin;  
  • Propose an educational primer in accessible language with interpretations of ZAP's products for local communities.

Methodological Steps:

The methodology for the elaboration of the Productive Environmental Zoning (SEMAD,  2016), based on the proposal of Costa et al. (2017a). It will consist of the execution of three main steps , namely:

Stage 1-. Definition of the Conservation Use Potential of the sub-basins,

Stage 2-  Diagnosis of the Water Availability of the sub-basins; 

Stage 3 - Survey of Land Use and Land Occupancy in the sub-basins, as shown by the flowchart.
