Abstract

The Rapid River Assessment Protocols (PAR) are used as practical instruments in assessing the environment and obtaining environmental data through a questionnaire administered by people trained for this function. The research explores the geographical scope of PAR, analyzing the 10 main articles found on Google Scholar on the subject. Analysis was also carried out at 3 points in the urban perimeter of Córrego Vargem do Coelho, which is located in the municipality of Estrela do Norte – Goiás, where it was found that all points analyzed are impacted due to direct anthropogenic action. The results obtained reinforce the importance of the practical application of PAR as effective tools for environmental assessment, the observation of impacts on the Vargem do Coelho Stream highlights the urgency of corrective and preventive actions, including the implementation of sustainable practices, strict control of anthropogenic activities in the vicinity of the stream and the promotion of environmental awareness initiatives among the local community
