The study section was delimited according to the uses, especially, made by the Goiano Federal Institute. The use of hydrographic basins, and the anthropic transformations carried out in the fluvial basins of hydrographic basins, especially located in urban areas, were particularly discussed, especially the use of the Cachoeirinha stream. A theoretical framework was developed on the subject of hydrographic basins in urbanized areas, of pertinent environmental legislation, and interviews were conducted to know the specific uses of the fluvial plain of Cachoeirinha Stream in Rio Verde, especially by the members of the Goiano Federal Institute. After this survey the gathered material was articulated and ordered within the PEIR methodology to support the construction of indicators of response to impacting activities and to encourage discussion about sustainable uses of river basins and their river plains in urban areas. It is concluded that the pressures, state, and impacts resulting from the uses and appropriations of the Cachoeirinha stream plain by IF Goiano and rural landowners should be considered for thinking public policies and for being active participants in the search for answers and projects for uses Less impacting.
