Resumo: There is a historical association between wetlands and infectious disease that has led to the modification of wetlands to prevent disease. At the same time there has been the development of water resources projects that increase the risk of disease. The demand for more water development projects and the increased pressure to make natural wetlands economically beneficial creates the need for an ecological approach to wetland management and health assessment. The environmental and health interactions are many. There is a need to take into account the landscape, spatial boundaries, and cross-boundary interactions in water development projects as well as alternative methods to provide water for human needs. The research challenges that need to be addressed are discussed.

Houve, ao mesmo tempo, o desenvolvimento de projetos de recursos hídricos que aumentam o risco de doenças. A demanda por mais projetos hidrológicos e a exacerbação da pressão no sentido de tornar produtivas as áreas alagadiças criam a necessidade de uma abordagem ecológica - com numerosas interfaces ambientais e sanitárias - para a gestão das terras alagadiças e a avaliação da saúde. Os projetos hidrológicos precisam levar em conta a paisagem, as fronteiras espaciais e as interações transfronteiriças, assim como métodos alternativos de abastecimento d'água para uso humano. O autor discute os desafios de pesquisa que devem ser enfrentados nesta área.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2001-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/1636Reports in Public Health; Vol. 17 No. 7 (2001): Supplement 1Cadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 17 n. 7 (2001): Suplemento 11678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/1636/3260https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/1636/3261Zimmerman, Robert H.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-03-06T15:26:33Zoai:ojs.teste-cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br:article/1636Revistahttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csphttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/oaicadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br||cadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br1678-44640102-311Xopendoar:2024-03-06T13:01:55.463953Cadernos de Saúde Pública - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true
