This project proposes to improve the productive conditions associated with the management of water resources in the Indigenous Land Caiçara/Ilha de São Pedro.
Long Description
The objective of the project is to find ways to mitigate the water shortage that affects the Xokó indigenous people, tracing participatory actions to recover degraded areas and at risk.
The following actions will be carried out mainly in the Seed Nursery “Pajé Babá”, located in a space provided by the Indigenous School Dom José Brandão de Castro.
With better conditions for capturing and storing the water used in the Seed Nursery, and in the school itself, it intends to increase the commercialization of exotic and native seedlings and seeds, already carried out by the Xokó 4 years ago. Portion of seedlings and seeds will also be used in the implementation of Agroforestry System that will be developed aiming at water recovery and the vegetation cover of degraded areas around of the main points of water abstraction for the community, the São Francisco River . In addition, meeting the demands of farmers and breeders, the objective is to enrich the soil of productive areas. The improvement of the capture and storage of the water used in Seed Nursery will be through the use of technologies – “Bioágua” and Plate Cistern – in the reuse of liquid effluents from the Indigenous School. Training is one of the guiding components of the project, taking into consideration the improvement of alternative ways of capturing and storing water as a driving experience of other actions, such as the recovery of degraded areas and the commercialization of seeds and seedlings.
