Goiânia has many conflicts that result from the misuse of water. Their streams, with the increasing urbanization, suffered degradation in water quality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the different socio-environmental characteristics and its influence on the biotic and abiotic factors and the influence of human disturbance on the environment. Sites along the stream were selected for water sampling and also were used qualitative methodologies and techniques like questionnaires and interviews. Thus, this work scaled and assessed the importance of Cascavel stream for farmers who occupy the region close to this water source, located between Jardim Atlântico and Vila Rosa, Goiânia, Goiás. Questionnaires were applied, with the surrounding residents and gardeners who live in this area and carried out the diagnosis of biotic and abiotic factors, thus verifying the environmental characteristics. The study evaluated the whole process of human disturbance of the Cascavel stream until today. It appeared that the inhabitants of the surrounding ranchers and yearn for the improvement of the environment, because they live and depend on it, but want to be targeted for this benefit, as learning new techniques for planting or replanting the banks of the stream. It was further observed that the government, both in its municipal body, as in the state and the growers themselves, do not know the economic influence of these agricultural practices in the county.
