Abstract

As much as the presence of water is a predominant factor for the evolution of cities and the permanence of the population in a certain place, the accelerated urbanization makes water be seen as a problem as the impermeability is increased by the removal of vegetation on the ground, resulting in the floods. To solve these problems, an urban drainage project that directs the water to a suitable location is necessary, avoiding accumulation in inappropriate places and harming the environment and the population. Thus, with the help of knowledge acquired during graduation, meteorological data from the Executive Agency for Water Management of the State of Paraíba on precipitation, information from Civil Defense, and surveys carried out on site, the present work had, for purpose , carry out a case study in a community in Jardim Veneza in order to identify the probable causes of the floods that had been occurring, analyze the effectiveness of the recovery project in its drainage system and present the improvements that were achieved after the work was completed.
