Abstract

This study addressed the growing concern about water quality in Laranjal do Jari, highlighting challenges in treatment facilities, especially in the Castanheira neighborhood. Adopting an exploratory and descriptive methodological approach, potential sources of contamination were identified. Challenges faced by the facilities include seasonal variations in raw water quality and the need for proper maintenance, impacting the quality of treated water distributed to the population. The methodology involved detailed analyses of parameters such as pH, turbidity, color, chlorine, and total coliforms, aligned with national guidelines. The results indicated that all samples meet established standards. It is concluded that continuous monitoring is crucial to ensure water quality, recommending investments in preventive maintenance and awareness of the importance of access to treated water. The study contributes to understanding how local factors influence water quality, providing guidance for preserving this resource in the Castanheira community.
