Abstract

This study, conducted in the sub-basin of Água de Gato – São Domingos municipality, was aimed to diagnose the erosion present in that location. The study results showed that the occurrence of erosion in the study area is not only due to natural processes, or geological/natural erosion, but also to traditional practices of land use and management that is made in this area, in many cases taking place on the hillsides of steep slopes, with absence of soil conservation practices.
