Abstract
Water scarcity is a worldwide concern, considering that water is a limited resource and essential for life. In Brazil, approximately 30% of its population lives in one of the areas that most suffer from lack of water, the semi-arid region covering about 20% of the country's territorial extension. The lack of water, mainly in the northeast of the country, has been a problem for years, where people who live in this territory have been suffering for months from the lack of water and the poor distribution of the resource, which increases the degree of inequality between the regions of the country. The research aims to show the effect of the hydrological cycle on the quality of vegetation and how such processing can end up affecting people's lives and the environment. The municipality of Floresta is within the scope of sub-basin 73, the territory is part of the municipalities benefited from the PISF- São Francisco River integration project works, and the study has raised discussion on the part of the scientific community regarding the effectiveness of the population project and the possible risks caused to the environment. This study carried out a temporal analysis, 1961-2021, to investigate water availability and how the hydrological system can affect society, raising the degree of its importance for a better quality of life and consequently reducing hydric inequalities. It was also evaluated how climate changes can interfere with these environmental changes and the quality of life at the local scale. The hydrological model system used to assess water availability was the Pernambuco Hydrological Response Units SUPer-System. In addition, this system helped to understand the changes that occurred in the studied sub-basin. Yet was used UAV-Unmanned Aerial Vehicles to view relationship between lives in house and environment conditions. The study can obtain accurate and necessary information to understand the dynamics of the hydrological system and the possible changes of social hydric inequalities. Thus, it is concluded that climate change will have different impacts on small scales and lives conditions due to different characteristic's environment. It is very important to carry out studies on a detailed scale to provide better public policies for mitigating the effects of climate change on people's lives.

1. Introduction

Water scarcity is a worldwide concern, given that water is a limited resource and essential for life. In Brazil, approximately 30% of its population lives in one of the areas that most suffer from lack of water semi-arid region covers about 20% of the country's territorial extension. The lack of water, mainly in the northeast of the country, has been a problem for years, were people who live in this territory suffer for months from the lack of water and the poor distribution of the resource, which increases the degree of inequality between the regions of the country. Bringing water security to the hinterland has always been one of the guidelines raised by the management bodies, the São Francisco River Integration Project with the Hydrographic Basins - PISF, has become the investment to ensure the mitigation of the effect of drought on the life of the northeastern population.
The hydrological model Soil Water Assessment Tools- SWAT is very widespread in Brazil and due to the need for adjustments in the results obtained through modeling and observed data, it is necessary to carry out a calibration. Different studies have been developed to calibrate the swat model to Brazil, Tretin, Laurent and Robaina, 2023, Rodrigues et al., (2021), Martins et al., (2020), Castro e Machado (2019), northeast of Brazil, Nascimento e Silva (2018), and for the Pernambuco basins. Paz et al., (2018), Viana et al., (2018), Viana et al., (2019), Brito et al., (2021), Lins et al., (2021), Paz et al., (2022), Paz, Holanda e Galvincio (2022), Souza et al., (2022), Farias et al., (2023). The intention was and is being to provide a system that can facilitate the monitoring and planning of watersheds. This system is called SUPer- System of Hydrological Response Units for Pernambuco, Galvincio (2021), Galvincio and Luz (2021), Galvincio and Luz (2022), Torres et al., (2022), Tiburcio et al., (2023).
Watersheds can be qualified as natural systems that play a crucial role in the hydrological cycle. It is important to emphasize that water flow may be the most important component of the hydrological cycle and that it may be influenced by climate change and human activities (Mikaeilli &Shourian, 2022). Climate change and human activities are determining factors in the quantity and quality of water, analyzing these two factors is extremely important in the formulation of public policies, (Cão et. al, 2022). In Brazil, to implement what is foreseen in the Water Law, the River Basin Committees (CBHs) were created (Majeski, Trindade, 2023). The committees are made up of individuals with different interests, such committees defend, analyze and discuss the deliberation of the programs that are included in the Basin Plans, an important initiative for the entire civil community. A hydrographic basin is responsible for receiving rainwater that falls on the surface, which can be captured and stored in reservoirs, lakes, soil and underground aquifers, as shown by Luz & Galvincio, 2022.
Studies that analyze the behavior of precipitation and flow in a watershed have drawn the attention of researchers around the world (Rosin, Amorim, Morais, 2015). The amount and distribution of precipitation over time is extremely important to determine the flow regime of rivers, which directly interferes with water availability. Studies such as Ferreira and Valverde 2022, explain the importance of precipitation coupled with extreme events that directly affect the life of the population of a given watershed. Another very relevant process within the hydrological cycle is evapotranspiration. Becoming the second most important variable within the hydrological cycle (Rocha et., al 2021). When the atmospheric demand for evapotranspiration (ET) is greater than the supply of precipitation, there will be an indicator of water deficit which can help to generate problems of social vulnerability through the reduction of water and the limitation of its access (Eakin, Lemos, Nelson 2014). Understanding the quantification of ET is necessary to understand the process of interactions between energy from the atmosphere and the Earth's surface and regional water balances in watersheds (Andrade et., al 2020). The São Francisco River Integration Project (PISF) was carried out by the Ministry of National Integration (Santos, Pedrozo, Ioris. 2022). One of the most important works in the semi-arid region to generate water security, with all part of the scientific community raising discussions about the effectiveness of the project. Regarding the physical aspect of the PISF, it consists of the construction of the two axes that integrate the São Francisco River with the intermittent hydrographic basins, the NORTH and EAST axis (Costa, Ojima 2022). The arrival of water from the Velho Chico, via the east axis, led to an expectation of a possible abundance of water access for the municipalities that are part of the channel (Silva, Almeida, 2021).
The research aims to show the effect of the hydrological cycle on the quality of vegetation and how such processing can end up affecting people's lives and the environment. In this study, 61 years of data were used on the daily scale, period 2016-2021. To warm up the SWAT-Soil Water Assessment Tools model, five years were used. The SWAT model used for water balance modeling was the 2012 version.

2. Materials and Methods

Area study
The hydrographic basin under study has an area of 236.02 km 2. It is a sub-basin of the Pajeu hydrographic basin. This area is in the hinterland of Pernambuco with semi-arid weather conditions, Figure 1. It is located next to the São Francisco River and is under the impact of the transposition of the São Francisco River. Part of its basin covers indigenous areas, Figure 1B.
Neste estudo foram utilizados 61 anos de dados na escala diária, período de 2016-2021. Para aquecimento do modelo SWAT-Soil Water Assessment Tools foram utilizados cinco anos. O modelo SWAT usado para modelagem do balanço hídrico foi a versão 2012.
In this study, the SUPer system (System of Hydrological Response Units for Pernambuco) was used, https://super.hawqs.tamu.edu/. SUPer is a simulation model for the quantification and quality of water in the basin. More detail for SUPER can see in Galvincio and Luz (2022), Tiburcio et al., (2023), Farias et al., (2023).
The methodological basis of SUPer is the SWAT. SUPer has been used to simulate numerous basins in the state of Pernambuco for soil and water resource assessments. SUPer is an efficient model that continuously simulates a wide variety of watershed processes for a defined recording period. SUPer allows you to estimate soil moisture in spatial and temporal detail. Thus, it is believed that the SUPer is very useful in indicating disasters that have a good relationship with the water balance and soil moisture.
In the SUPer there are several variables of the hydrological and environmental cycle. Before uploading to the SUPer system, the Pajeu river basin was calibrated using the SWAT model. This result is not yet published. Because of this, here, we validated the SUPer data with observed data. To evaluate the calibration of the model, the determination coefficient was used. We used average monthly values simulated and observed in Floresta long -38.64 and lat -8.61. The station code is 48860000. Observed data period 01/01/1968 to 31/12/1991 was used to evaluate SWAT model calibrated. Floresta municipality was chosen because it was the closest station to subbasin 73 under study and so the model would be better calibrated and adjusted for this area.
In the SUPer the model was run in daily scale, the set-up/warm-up was two years and SWAT model version was SWAT2012. The project in SUPer to subbasin 73 has HRU-Hydrology Response Unit has seven.
The data used in this study are SW- Soil Water, PRECIP-Precipitation of the period 1961-2021.

The hydrological model system used to assess water availability was the SUPer-System of Hydrological Response Units for Pernambuco. In addition, this system helped to understand the changes that occurred in the sub-basin studied. The study can obtain accurate and necessary information to understand the dynamics of the hydrological.
For a better analysis of the impacts of climate change on the environmental conditions of the vegetation, the analysis of biomass by land use was used, where SPAS-summer pasture and CRWO-cropland/woodland mosaic, soil types is RQ- Risk Quotient (represents relative activities of aerobic and anaerobic microbial metabolism) and TC - eutrophic soil and slope 0-3, 3-8, 8-20, 20-45.
In this study, aerial photography images obtained with a UAV- Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, in 2023/09/28, were used to visualize changes in vegetation and surface temperature in areas with changing conditions in the São Francisco River water diversion project. That is, an area with water entering the hydrological system.

3. Results

Calibration of the Pajeú Basin
Before uploading to the SUPer system, the Pajeu river basin was calibrated using the SWAT model. It is noted that the calibration control points the model presented r2 above 0.67. Different studies have already been developed for the Pajeu basin with the aim of contributing to better management of water resources in these basins, Porto et al., (2022).

The average annual water balance of basin 73 presents an average annual precipitation of 661mm, surface runoff of 73mm, lateral flow of 20mm, return flow of 67mm, evaporation and transpiration of 459mm and potential evapotranspiration of 1788mm, Figure 3. The statistics of the average annual water balance showed in Table 1. Note that 69% of precipitation is to actual evapotranspiration. The baseflow is 55% of total flow. The baseflow is lateral flow and return flow. Total flow is 161.34 mm. In the first layers of the soil occurs infiltration/plantuptake/soil moisture redistribuition that transform in lateral flow. Streamflow is total flow. The streamflow was 24% of the precipitation. That is, 24% of precipitation is transformed into runoff. The percolation to shallow aquifer is 16% of precipitation. The baseflow is 13% of the precipitation. The surface runoff is 11% of precipitation. When we simulate climate change, the water balance is greatly altered. There is a significant decrease in baseflow, Figure 4. I draw attention to baseflow because it is very important in semi-arid areas.

Under current average annual conditions, the vegetation of subbasin 73 under study undergoes seven days of average temperature stress, 70 days of water stress, 30 days of nitrogen stress, and 43 days of phosphorus stress, Figure 6. With climate change, days with temperature stress decrease to 2, days with water stress increase to 83, days with nitrogen stress drops to 18 and days with phosphorus stress drops to 29, Figure 7. That is, it is possible to perceive a high impact on conditions of vegetation with climate change in the area. The decrease in the range of days with temperature stress can be fatal for different plant species in the area. The decrease in phosphorus and nitrogen can also impact the death of plant species. As well as the water requirement for family farming belonging to the area. These conditions, too, can impair the quality of life for people living in the area. It is important to highlight that climate changes cause different impacts according to land use, soil type and slope. For SPAS use, TC soil and slope 3-8 in this study climate change can impact increasing biomass, Figure 8. This is more evident in areas with lower slopes, Figure 9. This may be due to these areas having greater water availability. The conditions the soil, for example, soil RQ that is represents relative activities of aerobic and anaerobic microbial metabolism and with high slope showed importance increase in biomass, Figure 10 and Figure 11. The cropland/woodland mosaic, soil types is TC - eutrophic soil and slope 0-3, in this land use, in the future decrease biomass, Figure 12; Figure 13 (3-8 slope).
The biomass in subbasin 73 with conditions of CRWO- cropland/woodland mosaic, soil types is RQ- Risk Quotient and slope 3-8, Figure 14, its possible see increase to future.
When analysis averages, minimum, and maximum, Figure 15, Figure 16 and Figure 17 for CROW has important increase biomass.

It is possible to observe the influence of the channel on the surface temperature. It is also possible to see the influence of green vegetation near the residences, Figure 18 (A to F). This green vegetation influences the surface temperature and consequently the temperatures of the residences, giving a better quality of life when related to temperature conditions. In view of what was presented in this study that the areas of CROW with climate change will increase the biomass, it is believed that the surface temperature in these areas where there is an increase in biomass will be softened. The increase in water supply through the channel of the PISF-Integration Project of the São Francisco River will have an influence on the vegetation cover, an increase in biomass, especially in the CROW areas. Thus, it is concluded that climate change will have different impacts on small scales.

4. Discussion

The results of this study showed that water conditions in the region are so worrying that the SUPer system issues an alert (messages and warning: more than 100 days of water stress). An interesting result is that the average annual biomass will increase. But the efficiency in carbon sequestration will not be the same. Similar results have been shown in publications for forest ecosystems in the United States, Zhu et al., (2018). The trajectory of forest recovery is governed by two critical parameters: the asymptotic saturated aerial biomass and the age of the stand to reach half saturation, both assumed to be climate dependent. In all forest types, higher temperature generally increases aboveground saturated biomass but decreases the half-saturation stand age; more abundant rainfall increases both saturated biomass and half-saturation age. The estimated parameters of the model quantify the saturated biomass and the middle age, Zhu et al., (2018).

5. Conclusions

The study can obtain accurate and necessary information to understand the dynamics of the hydrological system and the possible changes of social hydric inequalities.
The climate change will have different impacts on small scales and lives conditions due to different characteristic's environment.
Assessment of water availability and environmental influence on people's lives in a small basin can be one important information to better mitigating the effects of climate change on people's lives
It is very important to carry out studies on a detailed scale to provide better public policies for mitigating the effects of climate change on people's lives.
