Impacto da Barragem dos Pequenos Libombos nos recursos naturais do Distrito de Boane

Abstract

The present degree work constitutes an integration of the various disciplines taught throughout the course. When addressing a topic related to the natural environment, he immediately highlighted the need to mention the physical aspects of the region, which in general influence the exploitation of natural resources, especially from the time the small Libombos dam was built. Throughout this work, there was a concern to make a comparison of the natural resources considered important in this work, namely water, vegetation and soil, in two distinct periods, namely 1980 to 1987, which corresponds to the stage before the dam came into operation and from 1988 to 1995 which represents the next stage, taking into account that they play a fundamental role in the development of socio-economic activities in the study area. From the conclusions of the work it was proved in part that there are in fact changes in natural resources not only due to the action of socio-economic activities but also to the intervention in the natural environment in this case from the installation of the dam, which came to reflect- in the quality of some resources such as water and soil. The methodology used in the elaboration of this work was judged to be the most adequate, taking into account the outlined objectives and the dimension of the work itself, recognizing in fact that other techniques could have been used, since a study related to the area of ​​the environment requires a complementarity of other spheres of science.
