Often the water supply of rural properties is stored in dams in the open without any protection. The lack of care ends up causing quality problems and even water scarcity.
The city of Caxias do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, decided to change this script and created a program to protect its waters and ensuring the supply and the health of hundreds of farmers.
Overall, good rains in the mountainous region of the state. Difficult is to get quality water to drink, use at home and give to the animals. Almost all available water is shallow in the city, comes from sources that form rivers and streams at low flow. These become contaminated with ease and even disappear when poorly maintained.
A single source of good flow, are well protected, can guarantee the supply of more than one family.
The guidelines are part of the Clean Water - a municipal project for rural sanitation. The idea is to preserve and improve water quality through these actions. Who is interested in the work should bear the cost of equipment and manpower. The City Council gives all the technical and, if necessary, lend machinery.
The water quality has brought health and dignity for hundreds of residents from rural areas. Preserve it is to also ensure the supply of large cities in the future. The step-by-step these program guidelines are available in Clean Water www.caxias.rs.gov.br / agriculture.
