Abstract

The work presents a discussion on the management of water resources in the basin of São Pedro River stream as the focus of environmental analysis where the main objective is to promote global change, based on the paradigm act locally. In the watershed in question, many contradictions were placed in the light of environmental legislation that calls for the protection of aquatic communities, riparian forests and pollution of watercourses, but which are not supervised by managers and society. It's a watershed of great importance to the city of Juiz de Fora for its strategic importance, since it accounts for approximately 9% of the supply of several neighboring urban regions. In this research work and literature review and visits to the watershed area to enumerate the main signs of environmental degradation that hampers the realization of its social function and action as ecosystem, due to the lack of public policies for environmental revitalization and social integration. A problem main in the basin analysis is the uncontrolled growth of the city for the suburbs without adequate planning, preventing the occupation of springs and permanent preservation areas causing risks to society itself.
