RESUMO:A escassez de água tornou-se um dos graves problemas mundiais. Nos últimos anos tem-se pensado sobre fontes alternativas de água como água da chuva e as chamadas águas cinzas. Porém, além de novas alternativas, a educação ambiental é condição necessária para modificar um quadro de crescente degradação socioambiental e junto a ela, a percepção ambiental é fundamental para o reconhecimento do saber e do que condiciona os comportamentos de um indivíduo ou um grupo em relação ao meio ambiente. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a percepção de alunos do quarto e quinto ano de escola do ensino fundamental, quanto à preservação e economia de água. Desenvolveu-se atividades com crianças do quarto e quinto ano da Escola Municipal de Ensino Fundamental Francisco de Souza Ramos em fevereiro de 2011 com palestra utilizando apresentação em Powerpoint. Ao final da palestra, aplicou-se questionários com perguntas objetivas e subjetivas. Das 79 crianças 70,8% perceberam a real distribuição da água na Terra e 67% responderam que é necessário preservar este recurso. Em relação à atividades que visem a economia, 92,4% tiveram consciência destes recursos. Assim como, 86% responderam que água pode ser reutilizada e 75,9% responderam que utilizariam um filtro biológico. Desta forma, os alunos demonstraram elevada percepção do que seria a economia de água e a preservação deste insumo. PALAVRAS-CHAVE:educação ambiental, escassez de água, fontes alternativas, percepção ambiental. PERCEPTION OF STUDENTS OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION SCHOOL FRANCISCO DE SOUZA RAMOS, AS TO THE PRESERVATION AND WATER SAVINGABSTRACT: Water shortage has become one of the serious global problems. In recent years it has been thought about alternative sources of water like rainwater and greywater. However, in addition to new alternatives, environmental education is a necessary condition for modifying a framework of growing socio-environmental degradation and with it, environmental awareness is crucial for the recognition of knowledge and that affects the behavior of an individual or group in relation the environment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the students' perception of the fourth and fifth year of elementary school, for the preservation and saving water. Developed activities with the children of the fourth and fifth years of the Francisco de Souza Ramos Elementary School in February 2011 with a lecture using PowerPoint presentation. At the end of the lecture was applied questionnaires with objective and subjective questions. Of the 79 children 70.8% realize to the real distribution of water on Earth and 67% responded that it is necessary to preserve this resource. In relation to activities aimed at the economy, 92.4% were aware of these resources. As well as 86% responded that water can be reused and 75.9% said they would use a biological filter. Thus, students
