This study aimed to determine the physical, chemical and bacteriological water of twenty-two springs, belonging to the Paraguassu River Basin and located near the Federal University of Reconcavo of Bahia, Cruz das Almas, Bahia. To this end they were detections of concentrations of total coliforms, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus and mesophilic and varieties of color and turbidity values. The waters investigated were highly polluted with high concentrations of total coliforms (> 2,000 NMP/100mL), Escherichia coli (> 2,000 NMP/100mL), Enterococcus (> 2,000 NMP/100mL) and mesophilic (106 to 109 CFU / mL) and unsafe for human consumption, considering national and international laws. The values of color and turbidity were also exacerbated and above the maximum permissible values. The results will serve as a basis for planning the use of these waters, such as recreation, fishing and restocking with ornamental fish, as well as mitigation measures degradation problems, so as to make the whole water system sustainable ecological heritage that ended in typically rural |
