Abstract
The Central Amazon is the densest watershed region and its numerous under watershed have been suffering growing degradation. The anthropic occupation emerges in this scenario as a strong cause of negative impact. To reverse this reality the education and socio-environmental management were pointed as important elements. In this study we present a historical analysis of the quality of water in the watercourses in the city of Manaus (AM). In addition, interviews with managers were conducted to verify aspects related to management and environmental education initiatives to deal with the ongoing reality. The results demonstrated a serious process of degradation of the water streams even though with a presence of aquatic life. Attempts at environmental protection and educational intervention run into distinct and demobilized understandings, which little accrete to the expected fullness of sustainable management of urban water courses.
