Abstract

Mining dams within urban areas are a technological risk because, in the event of an accident, they affect water security. For example, a sand mining dam accident caused an interruption in the water supply in the downstream city of São José dos Campos. Thus, the social vulnerability of the population that suffered from a failure in the drinking water supply was evaluated. A water shortage indicator, the Social Urban Water Shortage Vulnerability Index – SUWSVI, was composed. Variables that best reflect the socioeconomic condition were used: Average Income of Head of Household, Female Head of Household, and Children and Elderly Dependent Ratio. The sensitivity analysis considered the city by geographic regions and zoning classes, considering infrastructure supply and lot size. The results showed that although there are full water supply and sewerage infrastructure (99.6%), the access to water was unequal (39% of the population in the medium SUWSVI range).

Senior Researcher at the National Institute for Space Research/ Center for Earth System Science (CCST). Until the late 90s worked on integrated studies in watersheds with emphasis on Hydrogeochemistry, acting on the following topics: chemical species transfers in tropical ecosystems interfaces, biogeochemical cycles, environmental monitoring and observation, application of environmental models in tropical areas, and studies ecosystem acidification. With implementation of the Earth System Science Center (CCST) in 2009, the activities focused on the coordination and implementation of the aerosol, aqueous solutions and technologies laboratory (LAQUATEC) which is one of the laboratory infrastructures supporting the Environmental Biogeochemistry Laboratory research line (LAPBio). With this, within the LAPBio it is being generated environmental quality observational data (atmosphere, vegetation, soil, water and aqueous solutions in general) for both the search line and for postgraduate studies in Earth System Science. Retired in September 2017 and presently is acting as a volunteer researcher. The activities of this phase of the career refer to the collaboration in the postgraduate course of CCST, participation in research projects in progress, publication of the data generated during the career and focusing mainly on the publication of the project results. It is coordinating the transition phase of LAQUATEC activities to the new coordination under the responsibility of Dr. Laura Borma.
