“…The adapted BMWP shows a better response to the pollution than the adapted ASPT 40 . da Silva-Santos et al 42 also reported that BMWP was more able than ASPT to detect differences in habitat quality. Moreover, Deemool and Prommi 43 found that the adapted BMWP and ASPT responded to different water quality factors, respectively.…”

Despite their socio-economic and ecological functions, urban rivers are among the most endangered and threatened ecosystems, especially in developing countries, where the impact of population growth, urbanization, etc., on urban river ecosystem is more pronounced. Reliable and affordable bioassessment tools are fundamental for managing and restoring urban river ecosystems. This study collected macroinvertebrates from a typical urban river of the Pearl River Delta region in the dry season (December 2021 to January 2022) and the wet season (May to June 2022). Family sensitivity values (FSVs) were revised based on local biotic and abiotic data, and then used to adapt the Biological Monitoring Working Party (BMWP) and Average Score per Taxon (ASPT) indices. The study employed Shapiro-Wilk normality test and linear regression model to analyze the fitting relationship between bio-indices and Water Quality Index (WQI), and compared their differences between using the origin FSVs and revised FSVs. The results indicated that the revised FSVs for urban rivers decreased. Furthermore, due to differences in macroinvertebrate taxa composition and water quality conditions between dry and wet seasons, the revised FSVs differed between the two seasons, and the lower FSV of the specific family were recommended, reflecting the lower limit of pollution tolerance. The adapted BMWP and ASPT indices provide more accurate water quality assessment results and are reliable indicators in urban rivers. Thus, the adapted macroinvertebrate indicator is a suitable bioassessment tool for subtropical urban rivers in this region, allowing the identification of priority areas for management and a recovery plan.

“…The input of organic matter (OM) from bare soil causes a decrease in the bioavailability of DO. (BRAGA et al, 2018;SÁ et al, 2019;MOY et al, 2022;SANTOS et al, 2022) selected for analysis the physicochemical parameters that identify the water quality of bioindicators. The core of the question in these researches, was directed to the quantitative of the species classified as tolerant, sensitive, or intolerant and, there is also a direction to the impact factor as mining (SILVA, 2021).…”

Water quality, currently determined through laboratory analysis, can also be determined by the presence or absence of bioindicators sensitive to climate change, and these relationships can be the subject of studies in Environmental Education. The objective of this integrative analysis was to identify the existing gaps in physical-chemical and microbiological analyses, the use of biomonitors, the insertion of climate change and the role of Environmental Education as a fundamental complement to these analyses in the Pará Amazon, especially in the municipality of Paragominas. The secondary data were obtained from academic literatures published between 1997 and 2022, the year in which the National Water Resources Policy turns 25 years old. The data obtained and analyzed indicated that the research on water quality in the Pará Amazon, uses physical-chemical parameters, and compares the laboratory data obtained with the values established in Resolution No. 357/2005. The use of these parameters associated with aquatic bioindicators in Paragominas already presents data directed, with greater frequency, to the Uraim River, igarapé 54 and seven, which leaves a gap as to the Paragominas/Prainha River, which is a receptor of urban effluents and a tributary of the right bank of the Uraim; there are other gaps such as: scarcity of research regarding water quality and climate change are scarce; Environmental Education, although the municipality already has a plan for this, is still only applied in formal education spaces in lower and upper elementary school, but is not applied to users of water resources, which leaves them at the margins of this process. Therefore, these gaps become difficulties in the correct and active application of the NWRP.
