Given the importance of preserving the water quality of the Guarani Aquifer, the work done in the hydrographic basin of the rivers Jacaré-Guaçú e Jacaré-Pepira, located in the central-northern São Paulo state, was made to map the hydraulic conductivity from the use of some empirical methods associated with granulometric analysis and in situ testing, specifically with the Guelph permeameter. All results were submitted to a correlation analysis and subsequently mapped using the methodology of minimum curvature, based on numerical techniques Spline. These procedures provide for studies of aquifer vulnerability and assist in decision making in environmental projects and guidelines for urban planning

This monograph, presented in order to obtain the title of Environmental Engineer, proposes the use of nucleation techniques for the restoration of permanent preservation areas formed by three springs that contribute to the formation of Santo Anastacio river, city of Regent Feijo – São Paulo. Through Mine Water Project, landowners are encouraged to restore and conserve springs that contribute to the public water supply, being paid through the fees for environmental services. Once the simulation of this payment was reached at R$ 630.00 per year. Nucleation techniques will be proposed in order to facilitate the ecological succession, through techniques known as transposition of the soil, transposition of the branches, artificial perches and planting in groups of Anderson, totaling 81 cores covering an area of 208.3 m2 which corresponds to 1.9% of the total area to be restored. Made the survey of forest fragments in the watershed, it was found that only 12.39% of the total area has remnant vegetation

As aves apresentam diversas características que as tornam peças importantes tanto para a educação ambiental, quanto nas tentativas de conservação de habitats. Para isso, levantamentos da composição da avifauna são fundamentais. Assim, realizou-se o levantamento qualitativo das aves que frequentam os espaços de maior circulação de pessoas do Campus de Rubião Junior, UNESP/Botucatu-SP, entre os meses de Março e Outubro de 2009. Adotou-se o método de transectos lineares, através do qual se percorreu dois trajetos distintos, nos horários de maior atividade das aves. As observações foram feitas com o auxílio de binóculos, além de algumas espécies terem sido registradas visual e/ou sonoramente por câmera fotográfica e gravador. Para a identificação das espécies, utilizou-se basicamente guias de campo. Além da lista de espécies, foi possível também calcular as frequências de ocorrência delas. Foram detectadas 67 espécies, distribuídas em 26 famílias, sendo Tyrannidae a mais representativa (15 espécies). O percurso 1 apresentou 13 espécies exclusivas, enquanto o percurso 2, apenas 4. A maioria das espécies (36) apresentou frequência de ocorrência total inferior a 25% e apenas 12 puderam ser consideradas residentes, com frequência de ocorrência total igual ou superior a 75%. Dentre as famílias com mais de um representante, Columbidae apresentou a maior proporção de número de espécies com alta frequência de ocorrência total (> 50%). Os resultados revelaram maior riqueza de espécies na área com maior diversidade de habitats e menor fluxo de pessoas

This work presents a proposal to create a Polo Ceramic Craft in the town of Indiana - SP, through the potter’s organization in a cooperative that will coordinate activities to add value to ceramic pieces. To achieve this, two things are essential: improving the ceramic body and improve the properties of the ceramic material. For the first action it’s necessary to create a Central Mass Production of Ceramics, to provide raw materials and homogeneous composition that results in differentiated ceramic after burning process (sintering). To this end, we propose the incorporation of additives (which act as fluxes) to the clay material. These additives can be mineral such as feldspar and nefelinas or leavings, such as glass powder obtained from disposable containers. For the second action is necessary to acquire an oven, electric or gas, it reaches higher temperatures (around 1200 ° C). The presence of the additive and burning at higher temperatures will enable better production of sintered ceramic material with less porosity and water absorption and higher mechanical strength, and pieces vitrified and glazed, allowing them to assign a higher value. For the production of these materials (thinner walls) requires a smaller volume of clayey raw materials. Besides benefiting the ceramic pieces, the proposed changes reduce the environmental impact caused by burning wood, since it will be replaced by natural gas (or electricity), and even will reduce the disposal of glass containers in the environment by recycling and incorporating this material in the clay. From a social standpoint, the cooperative is crucial to the viability of the proposed project, to coordinate activities and commercial production, which will result in better wages and profits for companies and consequently for the city and its population

Interessada em atividades com foco conservacionista, a Ong SOS Cuesta Botucatu foi selecionada pelo programa Petrobrás Ambiental para desenvolver o Projeto Córrego da Cascata no município de Botucatu. Este projeto é uma proposta de mobilização e educação ambiental para envolver a sociedade, principalmente a população ribeirinha, na gestão e no planejamento estratégico de recuperação e conservação ambiental da Microbacia Hidrográfica do Córrego da Cascata. O foco do projeto é promover a reversão dos processos de degradação e planejar ações estratégicas integradas e participativas de manejo e de gestão para a preservação da qualidade ambiental desse córrego urbano, por meio de uma caracterização socioambiental da referida Microbacia. Em relação à caracterização ambiental, o presente estudo refere-se ao levantamento da mastofauna em fragmentos de Mata Atlântica situados na área da Microbacia. O levantamento dos mamíferos terrestres de médio e grande porte foi realizado no período de abril de 2011 a fevereiro de 2012, com a utilização de dois métodos: parcelas de areia e câmeras trap. Outros dois métodos complementares também foram utilizados na tentativa de conseguir resultados que, invariavelmente, não seriam obtidos com as metodologias acima, como entrevistas e registro de atropelamentos. O objetivo é avaliar a riqueza da mastofauna da região comparando com trabalhos anteriores feitos em fragmentos com características semelhantes aos inseridos na Microbacia do Córrego da Cascata, Botucatu, São Paulo. Foram registradas 14 espécies de mamíferos pertencentes a sete Ordens distintas, sendo duas espécies consideradas ameaçadas. Houve predominância de registros de animais generalistas/oportunistas em áreas com menor diversidade de mastofauna

Water is an essential factor in maintaining the vital functions of living beings. We have observed a growing commitment of quality, are due to pollution from many sources and even entire watersheds, whether for industrial waste, sewage, or for substances used in farming such as pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers. Nickel is the 24th most abundant element on earth, is a heavy metal that, in the form of chloride, is a proven genotoxic and mutagenic. Due to its industrial use, there was considerable increase of its concentration in surface sediments. Fish combine characteristics that make them excellent experimental models for aquatic toxicology studies, which are particularly usable as warn about the potential danger of chemicals or the possibility of environmental pollution. Due to impaired water quality and the few published studies relating the nickel with the tissue change, this study aimed at assessing the consequences of the presence of nickel in the aquatic environment. For this analysis, we used individuals of Oreochromis niloticus, exposed for 96 hours at three different concentrations of nickel dissolved in water compared to a control group. After exposure, the gills were removed and these were analyzed by ultramorphological, histological and histochemical analysis. The results indicate that all concentrations used in the experiment altered the histophysiology of exposed individuals. We observed the following changes: rupture of paviment cells, thus resulting in bleeding, loss of microridges surface of these cells and epithelial loss in the gills of all animals in all treatments with nickel chloride, the histochemical analysis showed non-proliferation of chloride cells. However, there was a dose-dependent increase of mucus cells in all animals. Therefore, nickel has toxic potential to fish, from the smallest concentration used up to twice as permitted by law, indicating... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

The lack of proper planning in intervention works of runoff water on rural properties and rural public roads leads to economic damage and loss of environmental quality. The impact of the action without technical base is soil erosion, siltation of water sources, loss of the quality and availability of water, invalidating areas for cultivation and livestock. The conservation of headwaters requires beyond regeneration of the environmental characteristics the repair and management of the degraded watercourse in order to control erosion. This graduate work in Environmental Engineering from Universidade Estadual Paulista Julio de Mesquita Filho - UNESP Presidente Prudente proposes a headwater recuperation and management in rural area of Álvares Machado municipality, São Paulo State, through the method of deep drainage applied to the case of a rural road near the outcrop of water. This technique consists in the installation of draining structures in sub-areas of the road surface, or sub-gutter and/or in the platform border in order to conduct the underground flow of water and reduce the loss of sediment in water flow. Therefore, was performed a historic study of use and occupation of land in the municipality of Álvares Machado, portraying transformations of the landscape caused by human action. Geology, geomorphology, pedology and hydrogeology data were collected from the study area in order to establish the conditions that led into the current situation of degradation and formulate an effective intervention strategy for civil works

As rochas intrusivas básicas associadas a Formação Serra Geral na porção sul do município de Rio Claro e norte de Piracicaba configuram geometrias na forma de diques e soleiras. Estes corpos estão associados à uma parte da Bacia Sedimentar do Paraná que foi deformada por eventos tectônico que resultaram em trends preferencias NW-SE, condicionando a estratigrafia, a intrusão e geometria dos corpos de diabásio e formação da estrutura domática do alto de Pitanga. Os corpos intrusivos tem em sua maioria a forma de soleiras e em menor quantidade a forma de diques. A compreensão destes corpos é importante para o entendimento da estratigrafia da área conhecida como domo de Pitanga na região de Rio e Piracicaba
