Between the environment and living beings occurs a web of interconnections of the bases of sustaining life on Earth. Among beings humanity emerges, with the social, technological and economic, resulting from the industrial revolution, where frequently the environment loses its role as ally, where it is been used as an object of mechanization and domination of man. In this discussion, water acquires importance in view of their use in the production processes of man and source of life. From this perspective, Watersheds become a point of interaction between man and environment acting as a point of convergence of actions and consequences. Thus, lists himself as an object of study the upper course of the river basin in the state of Pernambuco in the basin water of Mundaú river in order to analyze the environmental relations since 1990. To those and other specific objectives were established several methodological procedures associated with different stages, initially prioritizing the bibliographic and cartographic, and later data collection in office through the official organs of direct and indirect public administration, culminating finally with fieldwork. The use of the methodology allowed us to conclude that the environmental dimension showed high level of vulnerability mainly driven by low fertility soils, steep rate of deforestation, Basin Committee disarticulation, besides the lack of diagnostics on water resources in the area. In the social dimension, the level was found to be moderate, but inspiring care about the poor records of HDIM, high rates of illiteracy and infant mortality. The economic dimension, it seems, requires more urgent action, as it reached the maximum level of vulnerability in all indicators, namely: low per capita income, low number of employees in the formal sector, low agricultural production and GDP inexpressible.
