Abstract

The São Francisco River Integration Project is an infrastructure work conducted by the Brazilian federal government, aiming to guarantee water resources security to 390 municipalities, benefitting about 12 million people that suffer with water scarcity in one of the driest regions in the country. This work presents the method and tools used to evaluate land suitability for rural resettlement of displaced families. All with the intent of mitigating socioeconomic impacts for one of the annex channels in the main project axis, considering legal and technical criteria. Using geoprocessing tools, 4490 hectares of land were effectively identified as best suited for this purpose, helping public managers to promptly decide the adequate course of action.
