O tipo de uso e ocupação das terras das bacias hidrográficas sem fiscalização ou planejamento adequado, torna-se um dos maiores responsáveis pela degradação de corpos hídricos, por isso surge a necessidade de avaliação da qualidade de suas águas. A qualidade das águas da bacia hidrográfica do ribeirão Paraíso, localizado no município de Jataí/GO, foi avaliada a partir do Índice de qualidade das águas (IQA), adaptado pelo Centro Tecnológico de Saneamento Básico do estado de São Paulo (CETESB) para condições tropicais. A pesquisa constituiu em aferir o índice de qualidade das águas em onze pontos de amostragem, em quatro períodos distintos. Os resultados encontrados foram comparados com a Resolução CONAMA n° 357/2005, e aplicado o índice de qualidade das águas (IQA), que classifica o corpo hídrico em 5 faixas de valores (de zero a 100). De acordo com os dados avaliados, a qualidade das águas do ribeirão Paraíso pode ser considerada boa, podendo ser destinadas ao abastecimento público, desde que se tenha tratamento adequado. Ao analisar separadamente cada parâmetro, os valores encontrados em algumas das análises de coliformes termotolerantes, pH, fósforo total e DBO estavam em desconformidade com a classe 1 da Resolução vigente, resultando em contaminação das águas. Com isso, conclui-se que são necessárias ações que possibilitem melhor manejo e uso na ocupação da terra e águas desta bacia, viabilizando a integridade das características do ribeirão, como também a prevenção de maiores alterações e degradação diante do aumento das atividades antrópicas encontradas na bacia hidrográfica em questão.   A B S T R A C T The kind of land use and occupation in the river basins without supervision or proper planning has become one of the greatest responsible by hydrous bodies degradation, therefore there’s a need to evaluate the quality of the their water. The quality of the water of Ribeirão Paraíso river basin, located in the municipality of Jataí/GO, was evaluated from the Water Quality Index (WQI), adapted by the Technological Center of Basic Sanitation in the state of São Paulo (CETESB) for tropical conditions. The research aimed measuring the water quality index in eleven sample points, in four different periods. The obtained results were compared to CONAMA’s Resolution number 357/2005, and applying the water quality index (WQI), which classifies the hydrous body in five value bands (from zero do 100). According to the evaluated data, the quality of the water in Ribeirão Paraíso can be considered as good, with the possibility of being used for public supply, as long as it has proper treatment. Analyzing separately each parameter, the values found in some analyses of thermotolerant coliforms, pH, total phosphor and DBO were according to the class one in the current Resolution, resulting in the contamination of the water. Thus, it’s possible to conclude that actions which make it possible to a better land management and occupation and water in this river basin are necessary, enabling the integrity of the stream’s characteristics, as well as the prevention for major changes and degradation due to the increase of anthropic activities found in the studied river basin. Keywords: River Basin, Water Quality Index, use and occupation.

This study takes a look into groundwater quality at Ugbor Dumpsite area using water quality index (WQI), 2-Dimensional (2-D) geophysical resistivity tomography and vertical electric sounding (VES).The geophysical resistivity methods employed revealed the depth to aquifer, the geoelectric layers being made up of lateritic topsoil, clayed sand and sand. Along the trasverse line in the third geoelectric layer of lateral distance of 76 m to 100 m is a very low resistivity of 0.9 to 13 m from a depth range o f about 3 to 25 m beneath the surface- indicating contamination. Water samples were collected and analyzed at the same site during the raining season and during the dry season. The value of water quality index during the raining season was 115.92 and during the dry season was 147.43. Since values at both seasons were more than 100, it implies that the water is contaminated to some extent and therefore poor for drinking purpose. The Water Quality Index was established from important analyses of biological and physico-chemical parameters with significant health importance. These values computed for dumpsite area at Ugbor were mostly contributed by the seasonal variations in the concentrations of some parameters, such as, conductivity, total dissolved solids, hardness, alkalinity, chlorides, nitrates, calcium,  phosphates, zinc, which showed significant differences (P<0.01 and P<0.05) in seasonal variation.

erkembangan Kota Bogor tidak bisa dilepaskan dari keberadaan dua sungai utama yang melewatinya, yaitu Sungai Ciliwung dan Sungai Cisadane. Aktivitas penduduk di sekitar Daerah Aliran Sungai (DAS) Sungai Ciliwung dan Sungai Cisadane sangat berpengaruh terhadap kualitas air sungai, karena sebagian dari limbah buangan hasil aktivitas tersebut langsung dibuang disungai. Analisa ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kualitas air Sungai Ciliwung dan Sungai Cisadane Kota Bogor pada tahun 2017. Data yang digunakan dari pengambilan sampel air di lapangan pada bulan Agustus di 10 titik pengamatan. Selanjutnya hasil dianalisa menggunakan Metode Water Quality Index (WQI). Parameter yang digunakan meliputi Temperatur, Total Dissolve Solid, Turbiditas, pH, DO, Nitrit, Amonia, Fosfat, Minyak dan Lemak serta Total Coliform. Parameter tersebut dianalisa secara insitu menggunakan alat portable Water Quality Checker juga melalui analisis laboratorium. dan hasilnya bahwa kualitas air yang masuk ke Kota Bogor mengalami penurunan setelah melewati area Kota Bogor.

The low level of water in rivers in Iraq leads to poor water quality, on that basis; we need to assess Iraq's water resources for uses of irrigation and drinking water. This study present a model accounts for ground water quality by using a water quality index (WQI) for the region defined between the city of Kut and the city of Badra in Wasit province. this study relies on a system of wells set up along the path through the Badra –Kut  and around it  up to 78 wells. The study showed poor quality of ground water in the region of study and it is unsuitability for irrigation and drinking water, as well as provided a solution to the water accumulated in the Shuwayja to reduce the bad effect on groundwater by using a system of branch and collection canals  then pumping at the effluent  of Al  Shuwayja in seasons of rainy season ..Water quality index calculated depend on the basis of various physic-chemical parameters as PH, Ec , TDS, TSS, Nacl , SO4 ,Na , and  Mg. The resultant and analytical are present with use of Arch GIS program – geostastical analysis for the water index and water quality parameters
