Avaliação da aplicabilidade do índice de conformidade ao enquadramento (ice) em trechos dos rios Poti e Parnaíba localizados em Teresina-Piauí

Abstract

Water is a property of the public domain and has a fundamental role to play in the way we know it. However, the misuse of these resources and the different destinations to which they are subjected cause them to suffer significant falls each day in relation to their quality. The objective of this study was to verify the Framework Conformity Index (ICE), developed by the CCME (Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environmental) (2001), in the analyzes carried out by the SOS Mata Atlântica Foundation in stretches of the Poti and Parnaíba Rivers within the state of Piauí and to identify if these are in agreement with what the Ordinance of the Conama nº 357/2005. The ICE, from both analyzed points (Rios Poti and Parnaíba), presented "median" result. It is recommended that monitoring of water quality should be regular and effective, especially by public environmental agencies. The monitoring of effluent release points in water resources should also be frequent, as well as the level of sanitary sewage coverage, which unfortunately is one of the biggest problems with water quality.
