WHAT THE EVIDENCE SAYS
A SciELO preprint maps land-cover-related vulnerability across parts of Paraná, São Francisco and Tocantins–Araguaia basins in the Brasília region over a multi-decade period. Indicators varied by basin and by the ecological dimension measured.
WHY IT MATTERS / OUR READ
A single sustainability score can conceal divergent pressure on biodiversity, contamination pathways and land conversion; watershed planning needs separate indicators.
CAVEATS / UNCERTAINTY
Preprint, not established peer review. Modeled vulnerability proxies do not directly measure water contaminants or ecosystem response; verify updates before using for decisions.
