Physicochemical analysis of the biodishable water consumed in the rural area of the city of piripá-ba

Water is of utmost importance for human life and ecosystem Both balance, however there are que Several factors can compromise the quality of this When untreated water and can create risk to the Individuals who consume it. The collection was carried out at different water storage points that supply the Rural Zone of the municipality of Piripá located in the interior of Bahia, which according to the IBGE contain an estimated population of 12,783 thousand people. Laboratory analyzes were performed of the physicochemical parameters, conductivity, resistivity, total solids, turbidity, pH, hardness and alkalinity. The results showed that the only sample that met the standards for human consumption was the closed box sample with rainwater, the other samples were not within the required standards, especially the water sample from the reservoir, which showed antagonistic results to those desired. However, most of the analyzed samples have flaws in their storage, and although the parameters analyzed do not show contamination aspect, special attention should be given to the water reservoirs in question.
