Abstract

The Uberaba River Environmental Protection Area (EPA) was created in 2005 to protect the main public supply management in the municipality of Uberaba, MG. The objective of this work was to analyze the variability of the physical-chemical and microbiological quality of water from the tributaries of the Uberaba River that make up the EPA of the Uberaba River, under the influence of seasonality, using the Water Quality Index (WQI). To evaluate the seasonality and spatial variability of water quality in the EPA of the Uberaba River, 2 collection campaigns were carried out along the microbasins of the tributaries of the Uberaba River. These samples were collected at two different times: during the dry season (September/2019), and during the rainy season (January/2020). The WQI results in the rainy and dry seasons are in the range between 50 and 90, therefore specific with average and good WQI. During the dry period, the Pintos (downstream) and Lanhoso streams had a specific drop in water quality, going from 81.9 to 58.2 and 85.5 to 67.2, respectively. Although some tributaries present different WQI in the dry and rainy periods.
