Procedures for analysis and validation of attributes of water quality

ABSTRACT

Inadequate treatment of liquid effluents, as well as inadequate treatment, characterizes some of the major environmental problems and may contribute to the deterioration of aquatic ecosystems. In this context, the use of prediction models allows, particularly in the case of volumes, the observation of the behavior of the attributes under study, identifying sectors where possible problems of water pollution are more present. Thus, the main objective of the present work was to obtain volume of water attributes for the alkalinity, conductivity and turbidity, which made possible the spatial analysis of the same. The study area, Lago das Cinco Fontes is in the Arruda Câmara Zoobotanical Park, in João Pessoa, Paraíba, and results from springs and effluents from the surrounding population. In order to obtain volumes and voxel representation, 18 points were established for sample collection, 9 on the surface and 9 in depth. The standardized Spline algorithm with voltage implemented in SIG GRASS and Vis5D software was used. Graphs with concentration variations were also drawn according to depth and collection points. The methodological procedures were validated with the aid of AIC, EQM and R² statistics and any developed methodology was presented as a strategic tool for the water body’s monitoring.
