Disordered population growth has led to a progressive reduction in environmental quality in water ecosystems. Thus, it aimed to know the occurrence of heavy metals and their influence on the levels of environmental degradation in a water ecosystem in the municipality of Benjamin Constant-AM. The samples were collected at six specific points, with the lowest and highest urban concentration, in two periods that corresponded to the lowest and highest precipitation, using chemical parameters. Signs of environmental degradation were noted, such as deforestation and water pollution by domestic waste throughout the effluent, with values higher than the current legislation.
