Estudo do contributo da educação ambiental para gestão de recursos hídricos na UGBI - ARA-Sul

Abstract

This academic internship report describes the development of internship activities in Environmental Education, carried out in the ARA-Sul company, specifically in the UGBI, located in the province of Maputo, Moamba district, Sábiè Administrative Post in the Corumana region, approximately 118 Km from the capital city. The focus of the internship is the contribution of environmental education to the management of water resources in the UGBI. During the three-month internship, daily environmental education activities were carried out at the institution, guided by the activity plan. It was found that the training institution does not have a department or section that answers for environmental issues, therefore environmental education can contribute to the management of water resources in ARA-Sul, UGBI through awareness. However, it was possible to verify that there are environmental problems in the institution such as: water wastage, visual pollution due to waste disposal in inappropriate places and air pollution caused by the incineration of waste. In the UGBI the mechanisms of water resources management are included in the models of direct management and models of regional management of water resources. Inadequate water management was also observed, which is why an instructional plan for the rational use of water provided by the UGBI in the Chavane community was developed. It is recommended to create an environmental department or environmental management system to respond to environmental issues, the creation of new solid waste management mechanisms in the dam, including the creation of new solid waste collection strategies at all depots of waste from the UGBI camp and to conduct awareness campaigns and lectures on the rational use of water at least twice a year with the help of environmental educators.
