AVALIAÇÃO DA QUALIDADE DA ÁGUA DO RIBEIRÃO CAIAPÓ, PALMELO - GO

Abstract

The study presented the development of a Technical/Technological Product (PTT) aimed at assessing the Waters quality of the Caiapó Stream, located in Palmelo (GO), through the Water Quality Index (WQI). The WQI, resulting from the analysis of collected later samples, allows the identification of quality variations between rainy and dry seasons. The PTT led to the preparation of a Conclusive Technical Report that contributes to the conservation of the Cerrado’s natural resources and biodiversity, fostering sustainability through the monitoring of water quality and the implementation of measures to mitigate possible causes of degradation, thus promoting the well-being of communities that depend on this resource. The technical and technological advances associated with the PTT, as well as the expected impacts, included: facilitating inspection and control actions, promoting the conservation of water resources, protecting biodiversity, and preserving human health.
