Avaliação da área de preservação permanente e qualidade da água do olho d´agua Caraíbas nascente do Rio Palmeira (Cristalândia - PI)

Abstract

The present work was carried out at the source of the Palmeira River in Cristalândia-PI, in points adjacent to the water eye, making photographic surveys and quality measurements of the PPAs and spring water quality in the microbiological, organoleptic and physicochemical aspects. Possible points of anthropogenic interventions that contribute directly to the degradation of the river. It was verified that the main causes of the degradation of the Palmeira river are the activities resulting from agriculture, mining and vicinal roads, and the source has a significant level of preservation. Regarding water quality, the physical-chemical attributes met the standards established by the Ministry of Health, however the microbiological parameters did not meet the standard resolution levels. In addition, it was verified that the environmental quality of the basin environment is under environmental risk mainly due to the use of the surroundings of the source by diverse anthropic activities, changing the vegetation cover and the conservation of the native environment
