The Verde Grande watershed, as others in the northern region of Minas Gerais, goes through episodes of water scarcity. In the municipality of São João da Ponte, there is an agricultural mega-enterprise, whose water supply and irrigation are carried out by the exploitation of groundwater via a set of tubular wells. The local surface water resource is restricted; thus, the tubular wells exploit the Lagoa do Jacaré Karstic Aquifer, with high water potential. In this study, a hydrogeological study was carried out in the area to assess the sustainability of the exploitation in terms of potential impacts on the Verde Grande River, the main river in the region, a focus of water conflicts. The questions raised are: what is the karst aquifer behavior in relation to groundwater exploitation? Is there a local hydraulic connection between karst aquifer and Verde Grande River? To this end, between October 2017 and June 2019, monthly data on wells production, monitoring of water resources, and pumping tests, among other methods. The results indicate a resilient behavior of the karst aquifer against the groundwater exploitation by the set of wells, and the absence of direct hydraulic connection with the Verde Grande River in the area, contradicting the hypothesis of an impact on the water availability of this river due to localized overexploitation of groundwater.
