Análise técnica e ambiental do igarapé do Mindu no bairro Novo Aleixo, Manaus-AM

Abstract

This work presents a technical and environmental analysis of Igarapé do Mindu, focusing on the region of the Novo Aleixo neighborhood, in Manaus-AM. The study investigates the impacts of accelerated urbanization, the lack of basic sanitation and inadequate waste disposal practices, which harm water quality, local biodiversity and public health. Through data collection, field analysis and bibliographic review, problems such as pollution, bank erosion and changes in the stream's flora and fauna were identified. The use of the stream for social and economic purposes, such as fishing, updating and basic sanitation, was also evaluated. A survey compared the data collected with previous studies, allowing us to propose technical and environmental solutions for the recovery of the stream, including environmental education actions, sustainable management and integrated urban planning. The recommendations aim to promote the sustainable use of the resource and improve the quality of life of the local community, contributing to the conservation of the ecosystem and socioenvironmental balance in the Amazon region.
