Thus, this article aims to systematize the types of impacts to the Watershed of the Goiana River in the city of Goiana, Pernambuco, given the recent installation of automotive and chemical poles, with the presence of the first blood products industry in Brazil (Hemobrás), as well as the presence of other productive enterprises in the region; and also to describe the management strategies and environmental protection designed to protect and manage water resources. This was done by a literature review, field research and systematization in secondary data for responsible institutions state and municipal of the protection of the aquifer zone.
