Abstract

This paper presents the University Outreach Project “Negro River watershed: the importance of knowledge for management”, its main aspects and the results achieved so far. The project has been developed since the end of 2012, and aims to promote actions that result in greater knowledge about the physical, social and environmental aspects about the Negro River watershed. The method used for the development of the project include: a) the study of the problem; b) the definition of the outreach actions; c) planning the actions; d) implementing the actions; and f) evaluating the actions taken. After three years of the project, it is possible to say that it has been contributing to raise the awareness of the population that lives in the Negro River Watershed about its importance for the local and international context, as well as about the preservation of water resources located within the watershed.
