Avaliação da implantação de fossas sépticas na melhoria na qualidade de águas superficiais em comunidades rurais

Abstract: Several water parameters were evaluated: river flow, dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, total phosphorus, total coliform, turbidity and pH. Monitoried points downstream of the construction sites showed an increase of more than 100% in dissolved oxygen and a decrease of fecal coliform bacteria (over 800%). Relatively small investments can bring major improvements to the quality of water resources in rural communities areas.

“…The availability of water resources has been increasingly compromised as surface and groundwater are contaminated with domestic and industrial effluents. In rural areas, as in most developing countries, access to sanitation services is still considered precarious (VICQ & LEITE, 2014). According to the Brazilian Association of Sanitary and Environmental Engineering (ABES), the lack of adequate sanitation has contributed negatively to the population's health.…”

“…One of the most common forms of primary domestic sewage treatment are septic tanks, as they are seen as an effective treatment, especially in rural areas, regions that suffer most from the lack of conventional treatment. Due to the simplicity of implementation and maintenance, septic tanks become positive alternatives (VICQ & LEITE, 2014).…”
