Abstract Geochemical studies and surveys conducted by the Geological Survey of Canada have provided considerable information about the natural geochemical variations in glacial drift, lake sediments, and lake waters in south-central District of Keewatin. In addition to their intended contribution to mineral exploration, these activities yielded much basic background data that may be applied to the planning of water quality monitoring programs in the region. Studies of permafrost features, and arctic limnology have furnished knowledge about natural geomorphic and diagenetic processes that influence surface water quality. Cryoturbation, on land and in the shallow areas of lakes underlain by permafrost, plays a major role in the transfer of particulate and dissolved drift constituents to surface waters. In spite of the abundance of mineral detritus on shore, profundal lake sediments are typically highly diatomaceous and possess conspicuous oxic surface layers that likely have a strong capacity to sequester both nutrients and trace metals.

The water is one human fundamental rights, however, the simple access the water doesn't guarantee the health of who consumes it, considering that if the water is not inside of the established quality patterns it can bring serious damages so much to the human, as the fauna and the flora of an area. The accomplishment of that study is justified like this for the importance of the water for the human survival, once that resource being contaminated in some way it can bring irreversible damages to the population health. The objective constituted in monitoring the water quality of the groundwater in a division into lots, Residential Shangri-Lá located in the north area of Goiânia, through analyses of environmental control. The hypothesis that orientated of this work constituted in to show that the population uses cisterns as alternative for the obtaining of water, because the population has no access to conventional water supply. For the realization of this study samples of water were collected in the residential and it was made analyses physical-chemistries (dissolved oxygen, turbidity, true color, pH and total phosphorus) and microbiological heterotrophic contamination, escherichia coli and total coliforms). It was verified with the monitoring and analyses that the underground water used Shangri-Lá in the Residential it is not in alarming levels of contamination not even for industrial activities, septic sewages or other factors, the people's health can be committed for the failures of potability of the water consumed by residents of the condominium, demonstrating like this the need of frequent accompaniment and the reevaluation of the measures of hygienic handling in these places, due to the possibilities of contamination of several orders.

Abstract Development continues to occur in the North. With development, there is the potential for ecological damage. This is particularly true in the North, with its harsh environment coupled with its fragile ecosystems. One of these systems, the aguatic ecosystem, is the focal point of this special issue of the Water Pollution Research Journal of Canada. The ten preceedinq papers were presented at the Northern Water Quality Monitoring Workshop, held in Yellowknife, May 4-7, 1987. The Workshop was organized into three basic stages. Day 1 was devoted to invited presentations from data users while days 2 to 4 were devoted to scientific presentations on: General Monitoring, Mining and Hydrocarbons. The scientific presentations were followed by Workgroup Sessions and a Plenary session daily. This paper attempts to highlight the various views and opinions, often without creditation, from the verbatim transcripts of the invited presentations (day 1), Workgroup Sessions and Plenary Sessions (days 2-4) found in Inland Waters/Land Directorate, Technical Workshop Series No. 7, Northern Water Quality Monitoring, 1988.
