Diagnosis of the Basic Sanitation of the Prata Lagoon and Maresia Lagoon, Prosai-Maués Project, Located in the Municipality of Maués - Amazonas

The discussion about the quality of Environmental Sanitation (ES) services is currently highlighted because it is directly linked to the population\u27s quality of life. Assessing the scope of SA services has become an important tool for the management of municipalities and states, as it allows the adaptation to the reality of the population to improve future planning, foreseeing the expansion of SA services. The Municipal Basic Sanitation Plan - PMSB was established by Law No. 11.455 / 2007 as an important planning tool for basic sanitation services. It consists of programs, projects and actions aimed at improving the conditions of services that constitute basic sanitation: water supply, sanitation, as well as urban solid waste management and urban river water. With the accelerated urban growth in the municipality of Maués and the intense aggressions to the environment, the PROSAI-MAUÉS ES indicators were identified and diagnosed, which propose improvements in the urban, environmental and basic sanitation conditions of the municipality with the recovery of Lagoas do Silver and Maresia, which for many years have suffered from pollution around the lagoons. The lagoons in question were chosen for the implementation of PROSAI-MAUÉS, explained by the occupation of its margins by low-income population installed on stilts, the existence of flood risk points and the need for renewal of this urban fragment of tourist importance. On-site research was conducted using observation techniques and photographic recording to describe the conditions of local sanitation services. The experience of the PROSAI-MAUÉS project indicates that it is necessary to seek the institutional strengthening of the entities involved with the local society since the early stages. from the initial planning and execution to the final phase of monitoring and follow-up of the services provided by the basic sanitation works, thus ensuring the sustainability of the Program for future generations

Waste Reuse in a food establishment for the production of organic fertilizer in Manaus - Amazonas

Organic waste has been a threat to society and the environment, both by the amount generated and the inadequate treatment. Seeking solutions to these wastes, composting becomes an efficient process through accelerated biodegradation. The present study aimed to analyze the reuse of organic waste generated in a food establishment in Manaus-AM. The quantitative methodology presented two steps, weighing for three (3) weeks daily, (i) the waste generated in the kitchen and (ii) discarded by consumers, in addition to the total compost generated by the compost, as a basis for treatment of this material, as way of minimizing the amount of these wastes, analyzing the productive activities of this establishment. Given the results obtained it was observed a disposal of almost 30 kg / week, which if estimated, can reach a value of 0.5 tons / year, for each type of disposal evaluated, totaling a value that can reach 1 ton of organic waste disposed of by this small food establishment. Analyzing the composting process, the data show that there is a reduction in the amount of materials generated, due to their transformation into organic fertilizer, obtaining 50% of the total value produced from the waste, thus indicating a solution to the problems arising from the incorrect disposal of waste. organic matter, which is close to 54% of this waste generated in Brazil. In addition, currently about 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted and there are on average about 815 million hungry people in the world, proving to be an alternative of economic, social and ecological viability

Degrees of Risk of Environmental Impacts Arising from Irregular Occupations in the Northern Zone of Manaus - Amazonas

The disordered urban growth in the city of Manaus has had serious consequences for the environment in recent years, especially towards the northern part of the city. It is extremely important to verify the environmental impacts caused by this situation, in order to define the priority areas for planning and recovery actions of the areas. Sixteen areas were identified during the study, which were divided into four quadrants to define their risk levels. The risk levels were I - low, II - medium, III - high and IV - very high. The first criterion for dividing the areas in the quadrants was to identify similar characteristics between them and the second, the proximity of the areas, considering, therefore, the size of the area, as well as the loss of vegetation cover, the state of the soil and the existence and quality of the areas. water resources near the occupied areas. It was found that the presence of streams is a decisive factor to increase the environmental risk of a occupied area, in which anthropic actions intensify natural processes. Another factor considered is related to the degree of erosive processes, therefore, the occurrence of gullies and ravines accounted for the increased risk. After accounting for recorded impacts, quadrant B, located in the Cidade de Deus neighborhood, has a high environmental risk, while quadrants C and D have medium risk. These three quadrants have streams in their areas, however, quadrant A, which has no water body, has a low degree of risk, although three of its four areas have gullies. From this analysis, it is possible to define mitigation and impact containment measures, allowing natural resources to be preserved for the well-being of everyone today and for years to come
