Análise de drenagem urbana: estudo de caso em uma área do bairro Trizidela no município de Bacabal – MA.

Abstract

The growth of the city of Bacabal, particularly in the Trizidela neighborhood, has exacerbated critical issues related to urban drainage, such as frequent flooding and inundations. These problems compromise not only local infrastructure but also the health and well-being of the community, highlighting the need for effective and sustainable solutions. This study analyzes the current conditions of the region's drainage system through data collection, field visits, interviews with local residents, and a literature review. The research identifies that soil impermeabilization, combined with a lack of adequate urban planning, intensifies surface runoff, increasing the frequency and severity of flooding. Additionally, residents' reports reveal material and health damages, reinforcing the need for urgent interventions. As an alternative, the study proposes solutions based on green infrastructure, such as permeable pavements, green roofs, and infiltration ditches. These measures aim to reduce the impacts of flooding, preserve the environment, and enhance the community's ability to cope with the effects of climate change and urban growth. The study of the Trizidela neighborhood underscores the importance of integrating technical and social solutions in addressing urban drainage challenges. By proposing strategies that align urbanization with sustainability, this work offers a practical and innovative approach to improving the quality of life in the Trizidela community, promoting better living conditions for the population, and contributing to a more conscious and balanced model of urbanization.
