Resumo: | Many aquatic environments have been impacted by urbanization and lack of sanitation, directly affecting the environmental quality of these environments. Therefore, the objective of the study was to evaluate the water quality index (WQI) and the bathing suitability of the tupé, lua, and ponta negra beaches, located in the Negro River in Manaus. Samples were collected from three beaches during the two seasonal periods (flood and dry) in 2008, processed, and analyzed. The WQI was calculated by the weighted product of the quality value of each of the nine parameters evaluated: sample temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, thermotolerant coliforms, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, total residue, and turbidity, with their respective weights fixed according to their importance for the overall conformation of the water quality. The bathing conditions followed the standards and criteria determined by the National Environment Council Resolution, classifying the water as suitable and unsuitable according to the density of fecal coliforms present. The bathing conditions for tupé and lua beaches were classified as suitable in both seasonal periods, and ponta negra beach was classified as unsuitable for bathing in the dry period of the Negro River. The WQI of the beaches varied between excellent and good, presenting a gradient of decrease in water quality as the city of Manaus approached. The population and the inspection agencies should be aware of the bathing conditions of the waters of these beaches, so that measures can be taken to combat the entry of potential polluting sources. |

Diante disso, o objetivo do estudo foi avaliar o índice da qualidade das águas (IQA) e a balneabilidade das praias do Tupé, Lua e Ponta Negra, localizadas no rio Negro em Manaus. As amostras foram coletadas em três praias nos dois períodos sazonais (cheia e seca) em 2008, processadas e analisadas. O IQA foi calculado pelo produtório ponderado do valor de qualidade de cada um dos nove parâmetros avaliados: temperatura da amostra, pH, oxigênio dissolvido, demanda bioquímica de oxigênio, coliformes termotolerantes, nitrogênio total, fósforo total, resíduo total e turbidez, com seus respectivos pesos fixados em função da sua importância para a conformação global da qualidade da água. A balneabilidade seguiu os padrões e critérios determinados pela Resolução do Conselho Nacional de Meio Ambiente n° 274/2000, classificando como próprias e impróprias de acordo com a densidade de coliformes fecais presentes. As condições de balneabilidade para a praia do tupé e lua foram classificadas como próprias em ambos os períodos sazonais, e a ponta negra foi classificada como imprópria para o banho no período seco do rio Negro. O IQA das praias variou entre ótima e boa, apresentando um gradiente de diminuição da qualidade da água com a aproximação da cidade de Manaus. A população e os órgãos fiscalizadores devem ter conhecimento das condições de balneabilidade das águas dessas praias, a fim de serem tomadas medidas de combate à entrada de potenciais fontes poluidoras.UFVJM2022-09-23info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigo avaliado pelos Paresapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ufvjm.edu.br/revista-espinhaco/article/view/19610.5281/zenodo.7108333Revista Espinhaço ; Revista Espinhaço #202317-0611reponame:Revista Espinhaçoinstname:Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri (UFVJM)instacron:UFVJMporhttps://revistas.ufvjm.edu.br/revista-espinhaco/article/view/196/204Copyright (c) 2022 Revista Espinhaço https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArcos, Adriano Nobre Cunha, Hillândia Brandão da 2022-09-23T14:44:21Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/196Revistahttps://revistaespinhaco.com/index.php/revista/indexPUBhttps://revistas.ufvjm.edu.br/revista-espinhaco/oairevista.espinhaco@gmail.com || doug.sathler@gmail.com2317-06112317-0611opendoar:2022-09-23T14:44:21Revista Espinhaço - Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri (UFVJM)false |
