The Ravines in Angola became a national security problem putting at risk buildings, connections of provinces and municipalities, schools, hospitals, residences, water supply systems, electrical installation even silting up rivers. Large, cultivated areas can become unproductive, without access roads and economically viable infrastructure for the development of society, if there is no adequate strategic planning, that considers the particularities of the physical and biological environment, the social and economic conditions of the development trends of the region and erosion is not controlled at tolerable levels so that the soils and biodiversity are healthy. ?
