title: Microbiological quality and environmental factors of estuarine area of Iguape Bay Marine Reserve (Bahia) for cultivation of native oysters

description: ABSTRACT: The objective was to verify the microbiological quality of water used in oyster cultivation in Iguape Bay, Bahia, and its correlation with environmental factors and tidal variations. Thirty six samples of surface water were collected from three oyster cultivation areas, totalizing 12 collections. The concentrations of total and thermotolerant coliforms were determined using the multiple tube test - Most Probable Number (MPN.100 mL-1). The environmental variables assessed in the water samples were: pH, temperature, salinity, turbidity, rainfall and tidal. Total coliforms and thermotolerant coliforms MPN values ranged from &lt;1.8 to 1,600 MPN.100 mL-1 and from &lt;1.8 to 350 MPN.100 mL-1, respectively. The oyster cultivation areas presented good microbiological quality of surface water. The influence of environmental factors on microbial density was obtained as a positive correlation with rainfall and negative correlation with temperature and turbidity. Considering the data from this study, there was an increase of the population of coliforms in the rainy season and spring tide. Thus, it is necessary to carry out microbiological and environmental monitoring of water intended for aquaculture because it promotes safe and sustainable production of oyster, since the quality parameters can suffer weather influences and seasonal variations.

title: Interrelationships between the ozone and nitrogen dioxide concentrations in the region of Grande Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brazil

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this paper was to determine the interrelationships between the ozone (O3) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations, in the Grande Vitória Region (RGV), Espírito Santo, Brazil, using the methodology VAR and the Granger causality test. The VAR model captures the linear interdependencies between multiple time series. In this context, each variable has an estimated equation that represents its evolution in terms of its own lags and the lags of other variables. Granger causality test is based on a system of bivariate equations to check whether a variable is able to forecast the other. The results showed that the O3 and NO2 concentrations at Laranjeiras station were less affected by concentrations of other stations. The concentrations of Enseada do Suá were significantly affected by other regions, especially Jardim Camburi, IBES and Vitória - Centro. The Ibes ozone concentrations were strongly influenced by the O3 and NO2 concentrations from Enseada do Suá. Furthermore, the O3 and NO2 concentrations of Cariacica had significant impacts of concentrations of the Enseada do Suá, probably due to the prevailing North/Northeast wind direction in the RGV.

title: Surface water quality of the Middle San Francisco river basin after the implementation of irrigated perimeters of Gorutuba/Lagoa Grande and Jaíba

description: ABSTRACT The irrigation perimeters of Jaíba and Gorutuba/Lagoa Grande are located in the Minas Gerais portion of the Middle São Francisco river basin, Brazil, occupying an area of approximately 31,493 ha. This region has the potential to contaminate water resources as a result of urbanization, deforestation and the application of fertilizers and pesticides in agricultural activities. The aim of this research was to investigate the impact of irrigation on surface water quality in the region, using secondary monitoring. Nine monitoring stations were selected in the region, which represent the diferente uses and occupation of land. The cluster analysis and the nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by multiple comparisons, were used to comparatively evaluate the sampling stations and to identify which parameters showed different behavior among these stations. Although it was not possible to observe a pattern of contamination due to the location of the stations, it was found that the stations located along the São Francisco river showed no significant differences, although the use and occupation of land were different. The temporal trend of the constituents was verified by applying the test of the hypothesis of stationarity Spearmant, which found that most of the data analyzed were not stationary, with a tendency of increase or decrease over the analysis period. After the application of these statistical tests, it was concluded that, in general, the implementation of irrigated perimeters caused low impact in water quality in the region, in the period studied, considering the parameters analyzed in this study.

title: Evaluation of the impact of the effluent from the sewage treatment plant STP-Pirajá over the Parnaíba river, Teresina (Piauí, Brazil)

description: ABSTRACT The use of water resources for the discharge of effluents for the purpose of dilution, transportation or final disposal requires proper knowledge of the processes to ensure the receiving waterbody quality. This study aimed to assess the impact of the sewage treatment plant Pirajá (STP-Pirajá) effluent discharge on the quality of the Parnaíba river. Field sampling and laboratory analyzes were carried out for a period of 12 months in the treatment system for stabilization ponds and monitoring points upstream and downstream of effluent inputs. The efficiency of the sewage treatment showed typical values for system stabilization ponds, and met the quality requirements for effluent discharge. The dilution capacity of the Parnaíba river was compatible to the polluting loads of effluent from the STP-Pirajá. The Water Quality Index (WQI) ranged from good to regular in the studied area; and diffuse pollution proved to be the main threat in the river water quality. Escherichia coli values exceeded the limits of the quality requirements in almost all the monitoring period, even upstream of the effluent discharge point.

title: Variable-speed pumps simulation in EPANET

description: ABSTRACT In water distribution systems, energy savings can be achieved by substituting fixed-speed pumps by variable-speed pumps (VSP). The high costs of installation and operation of VSP require a preliminary economic assessment of the project, which is usually complemented by the use of a computer simulation software for hydraulic analyses of the system. One of the most used software programs for this purpose is EPANET 2, which is inaccurate when computing VSP efficiency. This is because the software does not take into account the changes in the pump efficiency curve when the pump speed is changed. In this study, a routine for calculating VSP efficiency, based on literature methodology, was implemented in the source code of EPANET 2. The influence of the new routine on the results predicted by the software for efficiency, power and energy consumption of VSP was evaluated in simulations with a hypothetical network. The results show that the original version of EPANET 2 tends to underestimate the efficiency and thus overestimate the power and energy consumption of VSP. The modified version of EPANET 2 provides a better prediction of VSP behavior; thus, its use is recommended in the simulation of water distribution networks equipped with VSP.

title: The waste disposal suitability of Almada River Watershed

description: ABSTRACT This work had the objective to identify the suitability of the Almada River Watershed (ARW) front of the deployment areas for waste disposal from the recognition of physical environment and land use occupation characteristics. The methodology had initially its activities associated with the survey of environmental studies and consolidation of thematic maps already made in the ARW area. Then the plans of thematic information, like bedrock, soils and landforms, had its features framed in suitability classes to the implementation of waste disposal in accordance with the proposal of Zuquette. The results attested to the scenario in which the area of ARW has a higher concentration of severe and restrictive suitability located in the west, north and east portions, due to the extensive occurrence of permanent preservation areas in upper 45º slope areas and top portions of hills, associated with the presence of dense forest.

title: Comparison of municipal solid waste treatment scenarios through the technique of Life Cycle Assessment: the case of the city of Garibaldi, RS, Brazil

description: ABSTRACT The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has emerged as an effective technique to evaluate municipal solid waste management systems (MSW), serving as support for decision making of the best model to be adopted. The objective of this research was to analyze scenarios through the LCA technique in the city of Garibaldi, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, comparing different alternatives of treatment and final disposal of MSW under the environmental aspect, and contribute to decision making, based on the study of the city of Garibaldi (RS). Five scenarios were simulated integrating processes such as recycling, composting, anaerobic digestion and incineration, for which the Life Cycle Inventory was prepared by means of the IWM-2 software, which calculates the evaluated treatment technologies by products and their respective life cycle inventories, in terms of energy consumption, emissions to water, air, and soil. For the Life Cycle Impact Assessment, calculations were applied to the categories of environmental impact, namely climate change, photo-oxidants formation, acidification, eutrophication and human toxicity, and indicators of energy use and recyclable and organic waste disposal into landfills. The scenarios that contemplated recycling associated with composting, recycling associated with anaerobic digestion followed by composting, and recycling associated with composting with incineration of waste and with energy recovery presented the best environmental performance, so they are indicated as possible treatment solutions for municipal solid waste in the case that was analyzed.

title: Coagulation with moringa oleifera seed prepared by different methods in water turbity of 20 to 100 UNT

description: ABSTRACT Moringa oleifera seeds comprise cationic proteins and can be used as efficient coagulant in the clarification of water for human consumption. The objective was to identify the best method of preparation of Moringa oleifera, the best time to sedimentation and the optimum concentration for different values of affluent turbidity. For concentrations of 100 to 500 mg L-1, seed was peeled, crushed, sieved and diluted (method 1); dried, crushed, sieved, diluted and filtered (method 2); crushed, sieved, diluted and filtered (method 3). The Jartest assays were performed in triplicate for each method in water with turbidity of 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 NTU and sedimentation kinetics to 30, 60, 90 and 150 min. There were no significant differences in turbidity between the methods after F test and Student’s t-test. However, the filter can prevent fouling and increase of organic matter to treated water. The use of Moringa oleifera produces efficient decrease in turbidity in waters above 40 NTU. The maximum time for sedimentation was 129.6 min, to 90.5% remove of turbidity.

title: Protector-receiver and polluter-pays principles as incentive instruments to reduce residential water consumption in the city of Curitiba (Paraná, Brazil)

description: ABSTRACT Problems related to water supply have been widely discussed worldwide. These difficulties occur for many reasons, for example, as a result of the urbanization process, the inappropriate management of water resources and the inadequate supply system infrastructure. Therefore, this study aimed, through the appointment of applications of the protector-receiver and user-polluter-pays principles, and the checking of the efficiency of collection of fees on water consumption system, to identify the ways of action of these principles in reducing residential water consumption in the city of Curitiba. For this, it was necessary to establish the relationship between the charge and the residential consumption of water through the analysis of indicators of consumption and population income. The applications of the protector-receiver principle in water resources management have been identified, and the grounds of the user-polluter-pays principle were investigated, since this principle supports the collection of public water supply services.
