The headboards, in turn, can be considered the most precious element for life on Earth. Due to the springs are of great importance this work aims to identify, describe and present the impacts of urban development in drainage/Springs neighborhood Caiçaras. We intend to show the degree of deterioration in the area studied and possible compromises in River watershed of stream street Prentice Coelho. Thus, for the development of this work, areas of study were visited and analyzed, demarcated with insecticide GPS unit. Data analysis made it possible to prove that the environmental degradation, violations of environmental legislation and situations is pronounced anthropogenic activities on the site. It was noted that the sources are within the backyards of homes and largely already been submerged without any type of study. These areas according to our legislation, should be considered for permanent preservation, what simply is ignored, because they are in the urban center, practically taken of buildings and vegetation without any shred of preventing them. The study was developed in watershed catchment area of stream Cascatinha Prentice rabbit and street, in which both are lose characterize due to human actions. This work envisioned the characterization of sources, identifying the main interventions suffered by them, finally demonstrate the projects that are occurring in the spot, which possibly ager provide some improvement in the region.
