The problem regarding anthropic actions and, consequently, the impacts of the silting up processes in the Rio Branco hydrographic basin refers to the changes, in the short and long term, that bring losses to the river flow of the area under analysis. Chapter 1 of this research seeks to relate the importance of education for water resources in conjunction with social function and action, in order to consider that the implementation of new methodologies must consider the local social reality. Still, one must consider the relationship between environmental problems such as silting up and water scarcity with the need to repair, mitigate and prevent anthropogenic actions. Thus, the use of low-cost alternative technological instruments makes it possible to popularize research in different spaces, causing transits and contacts with different places and subjects, since alternative and low-cost technologies can be transformed into pedagogical and educational instruments capable of shaping an environmental and social reality. Chapter 2 addresses the importance of society's participation in mitigating the water crisis and aims to discuss the importance of social participation in mitigating the water crisis, through environmental education and citizen science, combined with alternative cost technologies reduced and accessible, which can be used both by students in the classroom and by the population for the promotion of citizen science and environmental education, in the mitigation of local environmental problems.
