This book was motivated by the large increase in population, linked to the accelerated and unplanned process of urbanisation, causing great pressure on natural resources in Chapada dos Guimarães. Its object area is the micro-basin of the Quineira stream. Based on the hypothesis that by identifying its springs, characterising them and diagnosing vegetation cover, erosion processes, housing forms and occurrences, and the quality of surface water resources, it will be possible to propose actions that will enable environmental preservation, minimising the effects of degradation and even enabling the recovery of degraded areas. Water is the source of life, all living beings depend on it to live. However, as important as it is, water bodies and springs are being destroyed.
