In the debate it addressed the issue that the Baxio community of Palms, located near the Batateiras Geosite, has faced due to the construction of the "waters of the belt." The project follows on developing partnership between the Federal Government and State to expand and understand the course of the São Francisco River. The objective of this project is to supply the arid and semi-arid regions.
The Bog of Palms community is located in Crato / CE municipality is development occurs from agricultural activities (production of beans, corn, beans, cassava, vegetable gardens, livestock and poultry grass). Being an area with fertile soils, has great emphasis on irrigated agriculture, with the predominance of livestock. Access to land for production in this community has given up from the income payment (lease). With the implementation of the "waters of the belt", this community will have to relocate to other places. Thus, the round table aimed to discuss the benefits and drawbacks of the project with the intention to propose appropriate reflections and actions to residents with public policy.
