It was established a buffer of 100m and it was analyzed the vegetal covering distribution and also the current use of the ground. It was verified a pattern of land use and vegetation cover in both reservoirs (Paraibuna-Paraitinga), characterized by the predominance of class pasture/agriculture (61%), followed of forest/"capoeira" (24%), and eucalyptus, (10%). The remaining percentage was represented by the classes unit urban, exposed soil and water. Since this area generates significantly economic resources to municipalities, a management plan for it is necessary. The permanence of the current landscape around the dams may have direct negative impact on water quality and adversely affect the water supply to municipalities served by it.
