| Abstract | |
With the increase of the agricultural production of the country in the last decades, water, a fundamental resource in agriculture, has come to deserve special attention. Recent studies show that much of the water used is not rechargeable, especially when it comes from deep sources such as confined aquifers (GASTMANS et al, 2013). This condition can lead to situations of water deficit, aggravated by the possibility of drought in a large part of the national territory, as recorded in recent years. One of the ways proposed to contribute to the best use of water resources is to understand the relationship between the withdrawal of groundwater and its use in agricultural production. In view of this, this work proposes a study on the water incorporated in agriculture and its export, with inferences about the volumes of the Brazilian agricultural production, and a reflection on the vulnerability of the water sources, from a case study in the municipality of Holambra/SP.
