Qualidade da água e avaliação ambiental macroscópica do sistema de abastecimento de água da comunidade chapada da taboca, Corrente - Piauí

Abstract

Water is considered an essential natural resource for the survival of all living beings, however, the water crisis is one of the main problems currently faced, due to the poor distribution of this resource as well as the large amount of pollutants that affect it. Therefore, the objective of this work is to evaluate the water quality and perform a macroscopic environmental analysis of the water supply system of the Chapada da Taboca community, located in the municipality of Corrente Piauí. The same was carried out in the Chapada da Taboca community, in the rural area of the municipality of Corrente Piauí. For the development of this research, water was collected from 4 wells in the community and analyzed in the water and sanitation laboratory of the Federal Institute of Piauí - Corrente campus. Analyzes of physical-chemical and microbiological parameters were performed. A macroscopic evaluation of the capture system was also carried out. Based on the results, it was observed that, in relation to the physical- chemical parameters, only well 1 presented alteration in the electrical conductivity parameter, indicating the low availability of oxygen in this source. Therefore, it was possible to observe that well 3 presents contamination by fecal coliforms and all analyzes showed contamination by total coliforms, that is, by pathogenic bacteria
