Water quality of the reservoirs used for irrigation in São José dos Pinhais, Paraná State, Brazil

ABSTRACT: Land use outside its agricultural potential and low vegetation cover in the watershed impair the quality of water used for irrigation and may contribute to the spread of pathogenic coliform bacteria. The objective of this study was to relate the quality of irrigation water with the intensity and type of land use and the rainfall in a vegetable-producing region of São José dos Pinhais, Paraná. Water samples were collected monthly in 2013 from two reservoirs and one preserved source. After collection, the samples were chilled in Styrofoam boxes and transported to the laboratory for analyses of the total and thermotolerant coliforms. Effect of land use was analyzed by probability estimation trees. High land use and weekly above average rainfall increased the probability of thermo tolerant coliforms exceeding the limit allowed under legislation. In regards to thermo tolerant coliforms in the analyzed period, the water from only one reservoir was in accordance with the legislation for the quality of water to irrigate vegetables that are consumed raw. Results of this study are an alert to the local government for the necessity of environmental preservation to maintain the water quality of the county.

Quality Of Water

The urbanization process through which large urban centers have been passing has drastically affected the availability and especially the quality of water. The Cachoeirinha Invernada Watershed (CIW), located in the municipality of Guarulhos (State of São Paulo, Brazil), includes areas with different land use classes. This paper aims to correlate the spatial and temporal effects of land use and land cover on the water quality of the Cachoeirinha Invernada Watershed. In a period of 12 months and at six sampling points along the watershed, the physicochemical parameters temperature (T), pH, turbidity (TU), total solids (TS), electrical conductivity (EC), total phosphorus (TP), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), as well as microbiological analysis (E. coli) were measured. Water quality was assessed using a modified version (WQIM) of the Water Quality Index (WQI) and the Trophic State Index (TSI). The areas surrounded by urban development presented a marked worsening in water quality, with the downstream point most affected and ranked as ‘POOR’. From the evaluated parameters, what contributed most to water quality degradation of the Cachoeirinha Invernada Watershed (CIW) was E. coli, followed by BOD, and TP, all parameters related to the presence of sewage in the water. The need for the construction of sewerage and waste treatment, protection and recovery of riparian forests, and environmental education regarding waste disposal are necessary to significantly improve the environmental quality of the Cachoeirinha Invernada Watershed.

This study aims to characterize, in terms of physicochemical, bacteriological and metal concentration parameters, the water quality of public fountains in the city of Salvador (Bahia, Brazil), in order to identify its potential for current uses, contributing to the diagnosis of water quality on the public access. Therefore, campaigns were conducted in July and November of 2017 and 2018 in four fountains (Fonte Nova, Estica, Pedrinhas/Pedreiras and Express way), which were geo-referenced and analyzed physical-chemical parameters (pH, conductivity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, turbidity and total dissolved solids, salinity, sulfate, nitrate, chloride and alkalinity), bacteriological (thermotolerant coliforms) and metals (Cd, Pb, Ni, Co, Cr, Cu, Zn, Fe, Mn). The fountains showed values in disagreement with the CONAMA Ordinances 396/2008, 357/2005, and 274/2000 mainly about the pH, Dissolved Oxygen, Nitrate and Thermotolerant Coliforms parameters, indicating inadequacy for their intended uses. This information should support decision making and mitigation measures that minimize the environmental degradation of urban fountains in the city of Salvador (BA), from the adoption of recovery, revitalization and monitoring measures that enable the effective management of these water resources.

The aim of this wat was to evaluate the water quality in four tidal creeks of Paraná, Brazil, with different anthropic influences. Samples were collected every three months. Temperature, salinity, pH, alkalinity, total CO2, dissolved O2, nitrite, nitrate, N-ammoniacal, phosphate, silicate, particulate suspended matter, humic matter, total chlorophyll, total and fecal coliform bacteria of surface water were measured in each sample and compared. For all the stations water temperature was lower in winter, but ranged within typically subtropical values. Salinity (7 - 25) and pH (7.08 - 7.91) were higher in Perequê tidal creek indicating that only this tidal creek was strongly influenced by the nearby ocean waters. Lower dissolved O2, reaching anoxic levels along with higher phosphate and N-ammoniacal concentrations and higher total (<200 - 160,000 MPN 100 ml-1) and thermotolerant coliforms (<200 - 50,000 MPN 100 ml-1) in Olho d´Água suggested euthrophication, especially in summer when rainfall was higher and tourism was at its peak. Perequê, Penedo and Barranco Creeks were characterized as meso- and oligotrophic environments.

The impact of land use on the water quality of foothill microcatchment areas The impact of land use on the water quality of foothill microcatchment areas. In this paper a comparison is made between the impact of land use methods on the quality of water in the streams which drain various catchment areas. For this purpose three microcatchments were selected which are located in agricultural, rural settlements, and forested areas. Water samples were physically and chemically analysed in order to determine: nitrates, nitrites, ammonia, phosphates, sulphates, chlorides, calcium, magnesium, dissolved oxygen, reaction and conductivity. The above studies were conducted in the 2006 and 2007. Our analysis of the collected materials allows us to affirm that land use methods have a significant impact on the water quality of the streams which drain the area. Rural settlement has the most negative influence on the water quality, followed by typical agricultural use. Based on the direct quality evaluations of single water samples, it has been found that only water from forested areas can be qualified as belonging to the 1st cleanness class.

Type Of Land Use

The river is one of the important water sources and at this time the river water quality has decreased.The type of land use around the river is thought to have a significant contribution to river water quality. This research was conducted to determine of correlation between the type of land use and water quality in Rembangan River, Jember Regency.The study was carried out at four stations that passed through secondary forests, coffee plantations, rice fields and residential housing. The data of biodiversity and density of plants and physical-chemical parameters of river water were noted, and benthic macroinvertebratessamples were collected at each station. Data of biodiversity and density plants were used to determine of environmental services index (ESI) values. Benthic macroinvertebrates samples were identifiedat the family level, and after that the tolerance score and the abundance of each family was determined. The last two data were analyzed to determine of Family Biotic Index (FBI) values.The value of ESI, physico-chemical parameters of river waterand FBI were analyzedto determine the relationship between these variables by using Pearson correlation analysis (α < 0.05).The research result revealed that the type of land use (ESI) was significantly related to the biological quality of river water (FBI) as indicated by the p value > 0.05. The correlation characteristic is negative and very strong (R = 0.886). High ESI values indicate that the diversity and carbon sequestration of plant community around the river are in good condition and vice versa. Low HBI values indicate good river water quality and vice versa. Based on this research, each land use type must provide space for the natural growth of the plant communityto maintain the quality of river water to remain good.

Abstrak - Kegiatan Bersih Ciliwung dilaksanakan untuk menanggulangi dan mengurangi pencemaran Sungai Ciliwung, kegiatan tersebut dilaksanakan sejak bulan Oktober 2014. Kondisi Sungai Ciliwung saat ini menunjukan kondisi yang lebih baik, sehingga perlu dilakukanya studi lebih lanjut mengenai bakteri indikator pencemaran air Sungai Ciliwung dan resistensinya terhadap antibiotik yang dapat memberikan dampak secara langsung atau tidak langsung kepada penduduk yang tinggal di daerah aliran sungai (DAS). Pengujian terhadap kualitas air sungai Ciliwung berdasarkan faktor fisika dan kimanya serta keberadaan bakteri indikator pencemar terutama coliform masih perlu dilakukan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menngetahui kualitas air sungai Ciliwung berdasarkan faktor fisika, kimia, dan menentukan faktor biologi indikator pencemaran. Sampel air Ciliwung didapat dari titik di sekitar Rindam Jaya. Waktu pengambilan adalah pagi hari. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sungai Ciliwung tergolong sungai yang tercemar. Hal tersebut ditandai dengan rendahnya nilai oksigen terlarut dan tingginya nilai total padatan. Perbedaan suhu air sungai disebabkan oleh faktor aktivitas manusia dengan membuang sampah ke sungai sehingga proses penyerapan panas matahari berbeda-beda. Secara biologi, kualitas air sungai ciliwung menunjukkan adanya pertumbuhan bakteri coliform yang ditandai dengan nilai MPN/100 ml sebanyak ≤ 1100 yang tergolong tinggi bila dibandingkan dengan standar coliform air minum. Kata Kunci – Sungai Ciliwung, Kualitas Air, coliform Abstract - Ciliwung Clean Activities is carried out to tackle and reduce the pollution of Ciliwung River, the activity is carried out since October 2014. The condition of Ciliwung River now shows better condition, so it is necessary to do further study on the bacteria indicator of Ciliwung River water pollution and its resistance to antibiotics that can directly or indirectly impacts the people living in the watershed (DAS). Tests on the water quality of the Ciliwung river based on the physics factor and the kimanya and the presence of pollutant indicator bacteria especially coliform still need to be done. The purpose of this study is to determine the water quality of the Ciliwung river based on physical, chemical, and biological factor factors of pollution indicator. Ciliwung water samples are obtained from the point around Rindam Jaya. Taking time is morning. The results showed that the Ciliwung river belongs to the polluted river. It is characterized by low dissolved oxygen value and high total value of solids. The temperature difference of river water is caused by human activity factor by throwing waste into the river so that the process of solar heat absorption is different. Biologically, the water quality of Ciliwung River shows the growth of coliform bacteria which is marked by the MPN / 100 ml value of ≤ 1100 which is high compared to the standard of drinking water coliform Keyword: Ciliwung River, Quality of Water, coliform

Bacteriological Parameters

Water used for watering pigs, originating from five wells located in households in a settlement in Vojvodina, was inspected for its quality by the analysis of bacteriological parameters and pesticide content. Five samples were taken from each well at monthly intervals (n=25). In all water samples from three wells, coliform bacteria, including thermotolerant coliforms and Escherichia coli, indicators of faecal contamination, were repeatedly detected. In the water of all of the five wells organophosphate pesticides were detected, whose maximum allowed concentrations are not defined by the current Serbian Regulations on the quality of drinking water. Given the quantity of water consumed by pigs on a daily basis, water contaminated with coliform bacteria and organophosphate pesticides poses a risk to their health. Diminishing natural resources of drinking water and the growing environmental pollution, renders the assessment of the quality of water intended for domestic animals necessary as part of the integrated system of management in agricultural holdings.
