Abstract

The urban sprawl in the municipality of Maricá and the transformation of the landscape undertaken by the increase of large closed subdivisions in formerly rural areas close to the sources of rivers has been aggravating the already deficient water crisis. The main source that supplies the city, the Ubatiba River Basin, with frequent suppressions of native forest, diversion of watercourses, illegal collection and damming, as well as its contamination in the most densely occupied areas by the dumping of sewage without adequate treatment has been causing the death of its waters. Seeking inspiration in Bachelard (1998) and Heródoto (2006), we traced the path of the municipality’s waters, from the fresh waters of its sources, passing through the violent waters that bring floods and floods, to the dead waters that they pass through the airport and flow into Lagoa de Maricá, an ancient source of wealth and food through fishing. The path to the waters of Maricá thus shows the slow transformation of life into death, whether due to disasters, the death of fish, or the worsening of social and environmental problems.
