Análise da qualidade da água em propriedades de agricultura de base familiar

Abstract

The preservation of the environment and the use of natural resources are related to some anthropic activities. However, to avoid reduce the natural resources and overconsumption, some evaluation should be taken to promote sustainable development, as well as to promote the reduction, recycling and reuse of products, to use natural goods properly without compromising resources to as future, minimizing and environmental impacts. In rural zones, water courses and soil of prominent family-based properties are very importante, because they are more susceptible to contamination, the sources of water are waterfalls and sometimes not used properly, another aggravating factor is a lack of water and basic sanitation. So, in the rural development, it affects the environment and consequently decrease the quality of water and soil. In this study, it was aimed to relate the quality of water sources in family-based rural properties with possible outbreaks of contamination in their surroundings. For example, choose a descriptive and exploratory search in order to search each property and its particulars. The data were collected in the municipality of Arroio Grande, in the southern zone of Rio Grande do Sul State. The data of microbiological, physicochemical and environmental analysis helped to identify problems caused by living beings and possible environmental contamination. At the end of this study, it was established how it is necessary to propose changes in agricultural activities, such as water contamination and lack of hygienic-sanitary care are the main problems of all the properties studied. Thus, making a general and sanitary diagnosis, proposing adjustments in accordance with current legislation, allowing a more sustainable agriculture, generating extra income, providing improvements in water quality and the environment.
