Engenharia Natural: Solução Resiliente e Baseada na Natureza para Margens Fluviais no Rio Grande do Sul

A Engenharia Natural tem se mostrado uma abordagem eficaz para a estabilização de margens fluviais, combinando materiais inertes e vegetação. Este tipo de intervenção, reconhecido como uma solução baseada na natureza, utiliza processos ecológicos para resolver problemas ambientais. Um projeto realizado no Rio Pardinho, em Santa Cruz do Sul (RS), recuperou um trecho de 80 metros afetado por erosão e deslizamentos, utilizando técnicas de engenharia natural. A intervenção envolveu a proteção da base do talude, o controle da erosão com banquetas de arbustos e a ancoragem de árvores para reduzir a velocidade da água próximo à margem. O ângulo do talude foi corrigido e mudas de espécies nativas foram plantadas.  Apesar de desafios iniciais causados por fortes chuvas, a intervenção provou ser bem-sucedida, com a vegetação se estabelecendo e promovendo a estabilidade da área. Esta obra, realizada em 2010, serve como um exemplo da eficácia da engenharia natural, permanecendo estável mesmo diante de eventos climáticos extremos. Este caso é particularmente relevante diante das recentes chuvas intensas no Rio Grande do Sul em 2024, demonstrando o potencial dessas técnicas para oferecer soluções resilientes para áreas fortemente afetadas, promovendo a estabilização de encostas e a restauração da vegetação nativa, de forma alinhada com os princípios das soluções baseadas na natureza.

Para mais informações sobre este e outros projetos, consulte a Revista Ciência & Ambiente (https://cienciaeambiente.com.br) ou a página do Laboratório de Engenharia Natural da UFSM (https://www.ufsm.br/laboratorios/laben). A transformação da margem do rio, ilustrada pelas fotos de antes e depois, evidencia a capacidade da engenharia natural de solucionar problemas ambientais de forma sustentável e em harmonia com a natureza.
