SUMMARY:

In the present work we seek to understand the dynamics of occupation of the Sarapuí river basin, taking the 18th century as a time frame, going through important changes in the 1930s, with the last Federal Sanitation Commission until the present time. The choice for this time frame occurred due to the general objective of the research, that is, to interpret the history of the appropriation and modification of the Sarapuí River. In this sense, we believe that a research methodology that considers not only the physical elements of the river, but also the social dynamics involved, is more appropriate. Therefore, the research approach has environmental history as its theoretical perspective, which is understood as the interaction between human elements and those not created, popularly called “natural”. Thus, the initial choice for the 18th century was due to the dynamism provided by the sugar cane cycle in the Sarapuí river basin, which boosted occupation and the first uses and interventions on the river. From now on, up to the present time we have sought to analyze the major works of rectification, canalization and changes in general to which the Sarapuí and some of its tributaries were subjected, as well as highlighting the process of degradation of the river, especially the effects of floods, especially on the most vulnerable populations.
