Resumo(s): | The objective of this work is the identification of the main contamination sources in the Vizela river watershed and the potential effects on water qual-ity. The physico-chemical parameters temperature, pH, Total Dissolved Sol-ids (TDS), electrical conductivity (EC), redox potential (Eh), and chloride, fluoride, bromide, nitrite, nitrate, sulfate and phosphate water contents were analyzed. The microbiological parameters Escherichia coli and intestinal en-terococci were monitored over the time. The obtained results indicate that the water located downstream Vizela river is the most contaminated, alt-hough there has been an improvement in water quality over the time. The microbiological contents are higher than parametric Portuguese values de-fined for human consumption, and often also the parametric values defined for recreation water activities. As a preventive and monitoring measure, it is recommended to monitor the various physico-chemical and microbiological parameters in water points, with a spatial and temporal regular and constant monitoring. |
