The presence of pharmaceutical compounds and estrogens in aquatic environments is well reported in the World literature. In Brazil, studies on the occurrence of pharmaceuticals in drinking water sources are almost non-existent and those related to estrogen have not yet reached the innermost areas, such as the state of São Paulo. In this study, we investigated the occurrence of estriol, 17-estradiol, 17-ethinylestradiol, atenolol, propranolol and ciprofloxacin in river water in order to evaluate the efficiency of water treatment and sewage in the elimination of these substances in two area towns scope of UGRHI 21 (Marilia) and 22 (Presidente Prudente). The method includes solid phase extraction (SPE) for water, developed analytical criteria of reliability (accuracy, precision, selectivity, and robustness assessment matrix effect) followed by analysis by HPLC-FLD C18 column and gradient elution mode. The limits of detection and quantification method ranged from 0,016 a 0,28 μg mL-1 and from 0,048 a 1,05 μg mL-1, respectively. The method showed an average recovery and relative standard deviations between 97-73% and 0.01 to 0.15% respectively. In Marilia detected the presence of estrogen to the amount of ETA's, being more present E3 and EE2. In Presidente Prudente, detection happened just upstream of the WWTP for the same analytes. The drugs at all collection points, as well as estrogens downstream of the collection points, in collection point of Rio do Peixe and Presidente Prudente catchment pond, were below the limits and quantification method. Since it is expected the occurrence of estrogens in the study area, future studies should be expanded in territorial terms in both UGRHI's, taking into account the seasonality and other compartments of water resources where they can be associated, such as particulate matter and sediments.
