Eastern Northeast Atlantic Hydrographic Region
The Eastern Northeast Atlantic Hydrographic Region has a unique importance in relation to the urban occupation, considering five important Northeastern capitals, metropolitan regions, dozens of large urban centers and a significant industrial park. In this scenario, it is worth noting that the region encompasses more than a dozen small coastal basins, characterized by the small extent and flow of their bodies of water.
The region has an area of 286.802 km², equivalent to 3.3% of the Brazilian territory. A population of more than 24 million people lived in these basins in 2010, representing 12.6% of the country's population. Following the urbanization trend of the country, 80% (19,167,761 people) of this contingent are in the capitals and regions metropolitan areas of Recife, Fortaleza, Maceió, Natal and João Pessoa, as well as large cities such as Caruaru, Mossoró and Campina Grande, among others.
The rural population was 4.9 million inhabitants in 2010, and throughout the region are 739 municipal offices (16% of the country). The distribution of the basin area in the federation units is: Piauí (1.0%), Ceará (46%), Rio Grande do Norte (19%), Paraíba (20%), Pernambuco (10%), Alagoas %).
The region includes fragments of the Atlantic Forest Biomes, Caatinga, small area of Cerrados, and Coastal and Island Biomes. It is in this river basin that one of the greatest evolutions of the anthropic action on the native vegetation is observed - the caatinga was devastated by the cattle ranching that invaded the sertões; the Zona da Mata was cleared for the implantation of the sugar cane crop. Even today, vegetal extractivism, mainly for the exploration of potential logging, represents one of the activities with the greatest impact on the environment.
In some areas of the coastal basins bordering the San Francisco Hydrographic Region, part of the drought polygon is a territory recognized by the legislation as subject to periods of prolonged drought, with several geographical areas and different aridity indices.
