Caracterização exploratória-espacial da bacia hidrográfica do Ribeirão João Leite/Goiás

Resumo

The sediment has been used as an important indicator of the aquatic ecosystems’ health. Practices characterization of river basins including their occupation, drainage, soil type, climate and land use have been important in determining the composition of the sediment. This researched aimed to perform an exploratory spatial analysis of João Leite Stream Watershed, considering their characteristics and relationships between soil type, pollutant sources and composition of sediments. Was verified that this basin presents serious problems of environmental degradation, arising mainly of the anthropogenic alteration process, as well as the lack of management and conservation of soil, which can lead to changes in the chemical composition of the sediments and the consequent change in water quality.
