Abstract: Agricultural production systems produce impacts on natural resources. The objective was to evaluate the impacts generated by the canal. The research was carried out in the community of Peribuela, and the framework for the evaluation of natural resources management systems was applied using sustainability indicators. A result, in the socioeconomic area was the level of organization of the users and the General Assembly, a significant increase in property values (up to 300%), improvement in farmer incomes with tree tomato, corn and bean crops. In the agro-ecological area, the application of chemical fertilizers on the crops was: tomato 1600 kg / Ha of synthetic fertilizers in an area of 42.28 Ha, corn and beans 700 kg of fertilizer per Ha for each crop In an area of 147,32 Ha and 45 Ha respectively. In the sanitation area, seventy 200-liter tanks pesticide are applied for the tomato crop, and 12 tanks per hectare are applied for corn and beans. The use 15 to 30 hours of tractor on 33% of the surface causes degradation of the soil resource. The implementation of the canal generated a positive socio-economic impact and a negative agro-ecological impact.
