The lack of planning, the city is building without the necessary infrastructure to meet the local demand, large areas occupied anyway, without projects to measure the damage caused in the long term, causing, in most cases, direct impacts troubled by misuse from soil. In order to characterize the study area, on-site visits will be carried out to obtain cross-sectional and depth measurements, where the igarapé meets the streets of the neighborhoods and where there is access through the streets, with the collected data a spreadsheet with the organoleptic aspect information of the environmental impacts of the study area. The sedimentation of streams and the alteration of their natural water quality characteristics are the main causes of flooding in these areas and diseases, respectively. The lack of basic sanitation infrastructure education policies towards the residents accelerates the degradation of the environment inserted in the study areas.
