THE SYSTEM FOR THE STUDY OF HEALTH AND THE SAFETY OF THE POPULATION ON WATER QUALITY OF THE CACHOEIRA GRANDE WATER LOCATED IN THE SÃO JORGE NEIGHBORHOOD IN MANAUS CITY

Abstract

For a long time, water was considered only as a means of consumption for the survival of living beings. I was not concerned about its quality for its own consumption. But over time, due to many deaths from drinking non-potable water, there have been various adaptations and technologies have emerged for better consumption and treatment of this material. The objective of this research is to analyze the water quality of the Cachoeira Grande stream located in the São Jorge neighborhood in the city of Manaus in order to know the health and safety of the residents and the general population of the Amazonian capital. The analyzes were performed through the physical, chemical and microbiological characteristics of the water collected in three distinct points, near the margins of the stream. The results analyzed were already obvious and yet were disturbing, since there is a great neglect that concerns society in general.
