Abstract

A partir da década de 1990, o Estado do Paraná intensificou a industrialização na RMC, sob a premissa de sustentabilidade econômica e geração de empregos diretos e indiretos, atraindo indústrias de grande porte para a região. Algumas delas se instalaram em áreas que abrangem mananciais para o abastecimento público de Curitiba e RMC. Em conseqüência deste processo um contingente expressivo de pessoas foi atraído para a área em busca de emprego e moradia, originando inadequada ocupação urbana sobre as áreas de mananciais, agravando a situação já configurada na urbanização e metropolização que se deu na região em décadas passadas, fazendo com que a disponibilidade dos recursos hídricos para o abastecimento público, em termos de quantidade e qualidade, venham a ser um fator limitante para o desenvolvimento da região. Palavras chave: Metropolização, Recursos Hídricos, Qualidade da água. ABSTRACT From 1990 on, the state of Paraná has intensified the industrialization process in the Metropolitan Region of Curitiba, under the assumption that economic growth and creation of direct and indirect jobs would be the result. Therefore, large industries have been attracted to the region; some of them have established themselves in water spring areas, used for the public supply of water to Curitiba and surrounding areas. Due to that industrialization process, a great number of people have come to the region, seeking housing and employment, and that has caused an inappropriate urban occupation process in spring water areas making worst the situation already configured by the urbanization and metropolization process occurred in the region on past decades. Because of that the availability of water resources for public supply, in terms of quality and amount, has become a restrictive factor to the development of the region. Key words: Metropolization, hydric ressources, water quality.
