Resumo: Distributed in four villages with approximately 1800 individuals, the Maxakali people is the second largest indigenous population in the state of Minas Gerais/Brazil. The evaluation of the quality of water used for consumption and leisure in this population is usually performed by palatability and visual criteria. Thus, a descriptive study was carried out including samples of surface and groundwater consumed in four villages, considering water collection in three seasonal periods in 2015. PH (hydrogen potential), turbidity, dissolved oxygen concentration, conductivity, nitrate, total and thermotolerant coliforms were measured. The villages with the largest number of samples with values higher than tolerable were Verde Village (100%), followed by Água Boa Village (85.7%) and Pradinho (71.4%). The dissolved oxygen, total and fecal coliforms were changed in all the villages, with percentages above 50% of the samples. The turbidity and conductivity changes were detected in three of the four villages. Thus, the water consumed by this community, in natura, according to local tradition, presents a high risk for the occurrence of waterborne diseases in this population group.

A avaliação da qualidade da água utilizada para consumo e lazer nesta população geralmente é realizada por meio de critérios de palatabilidade e visuais. Dessa forma, realizou-se um estudo descritivo incluindo amostras de água superficial e subterrânea consumida em quatro aldeias, considerando a coleta em três períodos sazonais durante o ano de 2015. Foram mensurados o pH (potencial de hidrogeniônico), turbidez, concentração de oxigênio dissolvido, condutividade, nitrato, coliformes totais e termotolerantes. As aldeias com maior número de amostras com valores superiores aos toleráveis  foram a Aldeia Verde (100%), seguido da Aldeia Água Boa (85,7%) e Pradinho (71,4%). O oxigênio dissolvido e os coliformes totais e termotolerantes estiveram alterados em todas as aldeias, com percentuais superiores a 50% das amostras. A turbidez e a condutividade tiveram alterações detectadas em três das quatro aldeias analisadas. Assim, a água consumida por essa comunidade, in natura, conforme a tradição local, apresenta elevado risco para a ocorrência de doenças de veiculação hídrica nesse grupo populacional.Universidade Federal de Uberlândia2020-05-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/article/view/4343610.14393/SN-v32-2020-43436Sociedade & Natureza; Vol. 32 (2020); 279-290Sociedade & Natureza; v. 32 (2020); 279-2901982-45130103-1570reponame:Sociedade & natureza (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)instacron:UFUporenghttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/article/view/43436/28830https://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/article/view/43436/28831Copyright (c) 2020 Eliseu Miranda de Assis, Emanuelle Marinho Santos, Márcia Cristina Faria da Silva, Jairo Lisboa Rodrigues, Anderson Garcez, Cleide Aparecida Bomfeti, Nêmora Tregnago Barcellosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessde Assis, Eliseu MirandaSantos, Emanuelle MarinhoFaria, Márcia Cristina da SilvaRodrigues, Jairo LisboaGarcez, AndersonBomfeti, Cleide AparecidaBarcellos, Nêmora Tregnago2021-07-01T16:18:20Zoai:ojs.www.seer.ufu.br:article/43436Revistahttp://www.sociedadenatureza.ig.ufu.br/PUBhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/oai||sociedade.natureza.ufu@gmail.com|| lucianamelo@ufu.br1982-45130103-1570opendoar:2021-07-01T16:18:20Sociedade & natureza (Online) - Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)false
