This paper addresses aspects related to the identification of environmental hazards that affect the Ondjiva commune and their direct interrelation with water pollution, typical of anthropic action. From the study of the water resources of the study area, an evaluation of the risks due to anthropic contamination on the waters was carried out. The research was structured in four stages, the main results of which were: a typological model of environmental hazards and a geostatistical model of the quality of surface and groundwater in the study area. Through the characterization and zoning of natural and anthropic factors in the study region, solid waste pollution is identified as the main pollutant focus of the waters of the Ondjiva Commune.

The octubre 23th of 2005 the Wilma hurricane live the water near of Cuba, despite being more than 200 km in the Gulf of Mexico, he left his footprints in Havana. It is e necessity to protect the city form the attack of the hurricanes and other severe events, for that reason several studies in order to kwon the behavior of the flooding have been done. In this paper are presented the formulas to compute the average wave overtopping, it is define the wave characteristics by mean a train of numerical model that allow to obtain the hydrographs to force the Iber model, and were done different flooding simulation of the study area, it allow define the location with more hazard.
