The effects of human action and degradation of natural resources can be viewed as a scenario created virtually. The project is being developed by the Rural River Program, the State Department of Agriculture of Rio de Janeiro, with the Laboratory Visionlab, the Pontifical Catholic University, PUC-Rio, System Simulation and Visualization in watershed.
The project's technical advisor Rio Rural, Marcelo Costa, stressed that the project is a planning tool dedicated to the community, showing virtually the results of what can happen both environmentally and economically with the human action in certain regions. The simulator also wants to show progress in the environmental area, "you can find the gallery forest, which can be leased and replanted, find sources, the sites of erosion, etc.," he says.
"It is an important educational tool for improving the perception of environmental problems and involvement of farmers, residents of rural areas and for society in sustainable development, strengthening Costa.
The simulator can be accessed at schools and telecenters supported by the Rural River and through the email address www.microbacias.rj.gov.br. The project is in final stage of testing and should become operational within a month. The mapping bases are being adjusted.
According to the Bureau, the Rural Rio has resources of $ 39.5 million World Bank and counterpart of the state government, to promote sustainable rural development in 270 municipalities of 59 hydrographic basins Rio de Janeiro. More than 24 thousand producers will benefit directly.
