Mechanisms Controlling Surface Water Quality in the Cobras River Sub-Basin, Northeastern Brazil

Abstract: -Stream water quality is dependent on many factors, including the source and quantity of the streamflow and the types of geology and soil along the path of the stream. This study aims to evaluate the origin and the mechanisms controlling the input of ions that effect surface water quality in the sub-basin of the Rio das Cobras, Rio Grande do Norte state, Northeastern Brazil. Thirteen ponds were identified for study: three in the main river and ten in the tributaries between, thus covering the whole area and li… Show more

“…Although studies must continue in other underground dams, these results indicate that if there is consumption there will be renewal of water and salts, therefore the salinization process will not be triggered. Other studies also show that rainfall and the continuous use of water from an underground dam exert a strong influence on salinity levels in dry periods of the year (LOPES, 2013, LIMA et al, 2017.…”

“…Para uso na irrigação é ideal que o pH da água esteja na faixa entre 6,5 a 8,4 (AYERS; WESTCOT, 1991); uma vez que esta água apresenta pH de 6,7 pode ser considerada propícia à irrigação, de acordo com a classificação de Ayers e Wescot (1991). Lima et al (2017) estudando a qualidade da água na sub-bacia do rio Cobras-RN encontraram valores de pH de 7,60 e 7,28 no fim do período da seca nos anos de 2009 e 2010, respectivamente. Já Alves et al (2008), avaliando a qualidade da água da bacia do rio Pirapó em Maringá-PA, observaram que o pH variou de 7,2 a 8,4, valores superiores ao encontrado neste trabalho.…”

“…In this context, several drought coexistence techniques have been used to improve access and increase water availability to meet the diffused rural demand in arid and semi-arid regions. As examples, we present the underground dams (Lima et al, 2017), as well as groundwater available after public investments in well drilling (Soares et al, 2006).…”
