Abstract

The Agrarian and Environmental Geosciences imply the integration of several sciences and fields of knowledge in order to assist farming, forestry and animals’ bringing. To integrate those sciences and knowledge into a model it is necessary to bring conservation practices not only to the agronomical practices but at the same time into geo-ecological administration of watersheds. The interconnection of those sciences demands the organization of: (1) knowledge bases (2) a logical articulation system for these cognitive bases (3) logic models of natural processes and technology and (4) a prevision and control system of eventual anthropic-derived impacts in underground water recharge zones, water circulation, water quality and terrain stability. For the act of decision the central challenge is the internalization of “the cross-cutting aspects of decision” derived from the various sciences, natural systems and security issues. Four geo-environmental questions are central to the whole process of decision making, for the proper integration of practical knowledge, which involves the determination of the: (1) adequate parameters, (2) structural conditioning factors, (3) geodynamic factors, and (4) terrain/ecosystems susceptibility to anthropic interventions. The logical steps become thus evident for the design of decision making supporting systems, which will deal with themes involving sensible areas in watershed.
