Abstract

This article aims to present the works that were presented in the City Council of Mariana in order to control the frequent flooding of Ribeirão do Carmo, which bisects the city. With the silting of the Ribeirão, due to the takedowns services charged by minerals in their banks and hills adjoining the flood became the subject of debate in the Council and some solutions were presented. The article aims to present the works that were proposed in the Council, though none has been brought to be done, in order to observe the ways that men wanted to solve the problem of floods in Ribeirao do Carmo, problem that was somewhat ambiguous because the silting of the river was exactly the result of the extraction of gold.
