In the long term, the increase in vegetation cover around the lagoon promotes water retention and infiltration, helping to improve the water supply in the municipality of S\u00e3o Roque in a scenario of increasing vulnerability to climate change.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5679\"
