Identificação de áreas de recarga de aquíferos e suas interfaces com áreas propícias à urbanização

Abstract

The article aims to add to the discussion about the changes in the hydrological regime due to urbanization, especially concerning the aquifers recharge. The analysis focus is the identification of the physical environmental factors intervener in aquifer recharge and in the choice of areas for urbanization, data needed to spatialize these areas and subsidize decision making for water-sensitive urbanization. As a method, ecological planning tools were used to express through maps the areas to be preserved and/or occupied with urban typologies that mitigate the loss of ecosystem services derived from the recharge of aquifers. The case studied is the Federal District where it is demonstrated that more than 80% of the consolidated urban area is under recharge areas, requiring a revision of the typologies of urban occupation.
