II Curso de Verão (CISED) - A Água: Recurso para o futuro no Maciço de Sicó

Dates: From 21 Sep, 2007 till 22 Sep, 2007
Location: Penela (Portugal)

Na sequência do I Curso de Verão organizado pelo CISED e pelo Município de Penela, pretende-se dar continuidade a este evento, discutindo, neste II Curso, a importância da água, enquanto um dos principais recursos do Maciço de Sicó.

 

Nas entranhas do Maciço, as águas responsáveis pela escultura da pedra, à superfície, e pela génese das suas belas e enigmáticas cavidades subterrâneas, são hoje um recurso imprescindível para o desenvolvimento regional e local, mas são, também, extremamente vulneráveis aos diferentes tipos de poluição que afectam os Maciços Calcários.

 Com o objectivo de discutir os modos de circulação da água no carso, a sua importância social e cultural, bem como as diferentes vulnerabilidades a que está sujeita, convidam-se todos os interessados a participar neste Curso de Verão.
