- Abstract
Watersheds face environmental disturbances that hinder the quality of a water source and the appropriate volume for human supply. In view of this, it is necessary to take care arising from the population and the activities carried out in the areas. Changes in land use and land cover are increasing over time. In this sense, the objective of this study was to investigate what are the activities (land use and occupation) that take place in the watershed of Arroio São Lourenço-RS and how environmental education could help in its management. A mapping was carried out using Geographic Information System (GIS) tools, with the QGIS software, in which the "pixel by pixel" classification of Landsat satellite images from 2021 was used. As a result, it was identified that the urban area it has a modest occupation, in terms of agriculture, which is the main activity in the basin. Therefore, the great potential for degradation of this basin comes from agriculture. Thus, taking environmental education to the countryside would be of great value to build environmental awareness, in order to preserve ecosystems and especially the water resource which is responsible for supplying the municipality of São Lourenço do Sul.
