Abstract:

The anthropic activities developed in Jataí municipality alter the water quality of the rivers that pass through the urbanized area due to the discharge of treated or in natura sewage; urban drainage; solid waste, and even by natural processes. In this scenario, the quality of the waters of the Rio Claro, Córrego do Queixada and Ribeirão Jataí was verified, using the method of verification of the Water Quality Index (IQA of CETESB). The indexes found in the ten collection points studied in four collection campaigns were classified as “good”, “regular” and “average” water quality. It was also verified that the quality parameters BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand), Fecal Coliforms, pH and Turbidity did not meet the limits established for the Class 2 watercourses of CONAMA Resolution N. 357/2005 (BRAZIL, 2005). In addition, for the most part, the original vegetation of the Permanent Preservation Areas (APP) of the urban rivers studied was eliminated and/or replaced by buildings or by some type of anthropogenic occupation or use.
