O gestor público e a relevância ambiental da implantação de biodigestores na zona rural dos municípios: o caso de Piquete/SP

Abstract

The dairy farming on small and medium scale is one of the economic activities in this very rural area of Brazilian municipalities. Producers complain about the cost of electricity which is a fairly significant item in the cost of production. They have at their disposal , the animal waste which is disposed of directly into the environment generate pollutant loads to the groundwater and pollute springs, lakes and rivers . If treated in the waste digesters are transformed into biogas and fertilizer. The biogas is used to generate heat and/or electricity or providing access to energy saving and biofertilizer reduces the pollution load of waste by improving the environment. The Public Manager the duty to promote the welfare of the population through public health policies, education, construction and maintenance of roads and streets, sanitation and many others. That occurs about sanitation Public Manager usually primarily serve urban area as residents of the countryside are under pressure from a punitive and restrictive environmental legislation and should take care of sanitation on their own. The IPVS which measures the social vulnerability of the State of São Paulo population and the majority of the rural population live in the two largest bands vulnerability. It appears then, by this index, the small and medium producers need policies that provide basic improvements such as sanitation and income enhancement . Through this feasibility study is intended to demonstrate to the Public Manager that you can save thermal energy and / or electric preserving the environment and projects to build digesters can be sent to the competent authorities for their deployment in rural areas through search for funding by the appropriate bodies, such as the FEHIDRO approved for deployment of septic tanks in the city of Piquete/SP project.
