Nascentes do Rio Gongogi: uma abordagem sobre seu estado de conservação

Abstract

This work aimed to identify and describe the conservation status of the sources of the Gongogi River in the Cebola region, Municipality of Nova Canaã, Bahia. Vectorized maps with municipal limits and hydrology, satellite images were used to generate data on forest cover, land use and occupation, springs and permanent preservation areas. In fieldwork, the transversal walking technique was used. By associating the data obtained in the transversal walk with the land use and occupation map, it was possible to determine which springs are effectively protected in accordance with the Forest Code. 17 springs were visited on 3 different properties. There is an advanced stage of degradation in most of thesources of the Gongogi River, only one is preserved.
