Abstract

The freshwater scarcity on the planet has made over the years, the man seek alternatives to reduce the use of water in the various activities of society: consumption, Domestic activities, industry, agriculture, among others. Thus water reuse (reuse) is presented as a sustainable practice that aims to mitigate the waste of this resource. Therefore, this article aims to present a diagnosis of the weaknesses and reuse practice capabilities in Eduardo Gomes neighborhood in São Cristóvão / Sergipe. Therefore, we made observations in loco to describe how to give the social and environmental relations in the vicinity of the DESO stabilization pond. The results showed that the stabilization pond has great importance for the treatment of wastewater coming from the Rosa Elze and Eduardo Gomes quarter, mainly due to the fact that this water is discharged to local waterways, thus the quality parameters water must be met, so as not to create potential sources of pollution. However, it was noticed that the resident community around the pond exerts unsustainable practices, which does not contribute to the maintenance of this alternative treatment. Thus, we see the need for interventionist measures through awareness and environmental education, whereas these actions will promote the conservation and local water management.
