Microbiological Analysis of Surface Waters in the

One concern that plagues the contemporary population is the pollution of water sources. When a water ecosystem is degraded and modified by anthropic actions, environmental and human survival is a risk. The release of freshwater effluents into water resources results in several socio-environmental problems, significant impacts on aquatic life and the environment as a whole. In this way, this work presents results of the analysis of the surface waters using Microbiological Parameters in 06 points of the Igarapé in the city of Benjamin Constant-AM, in order to know the levels of water pollution from microbiological agents such as the presence and quantity of Thermotolerant Bacteria, Total and Heterotrophic Coliforms. It was verified that in one of the Parameters analyzed the value exceeded the limit allowed by the Ministry of Health (2011) and Conama Resolution nº 357 of 03/17/2005 (CONAMA, 2011), returning the concern to some residents who still use the surface waters for domestic purposes, allowing the appearance of diseases characteristic of impacted water ecosystems. It is necessary to encourage and carry out actions aimed at the preservation and conservation of the Igarapé, enabling the formation of work centers to study ways of reversing and minimizing the Environmental Degradation framework.
