The municipality of Mossoró has a history of floods and floods resulting from the occupation of its floodplains, a dynamic that reflects the society-nature conflict inherent to ecological imbalances conceived from the dialogue with the social theority of the disease as urban environmental problems. In this perspective, the objective of this work is to understand the insertion of water bodies in the conformation of territorial diseases of mossoroense urban space. For this purpose, bibliographic and documentary research was used. Among the consulted authors are: Santos (1988; 2012), Harley (1991), Worster (1991), Cronon (1996), Freitas (2005), Fialho (2007), Novaes and Palacios (2015), among others. Empirical material is official data and documents published by IBGE, the Municipality of Mossoró and the Public Prosecutor's Office of Rio Grande do Norte. The results show that water bodies become part of urban environmental issues with the population increase and the resulting pressure on these resources for supply and economic development. It is observed that, throughout its constitution as a city, Mossoroense society ceases to have a harmonious relationship with the Apodi-Mossoró River by appropriating the available natural resources in a utilitarian way, generating the contamination of the water table and the disappearance of several watercourses . |
