- Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the water quality of the creek Mussuré and stream Mumbaba by means of physico-chemical parameters. So, we delineated the study area as the basin of the creek Mussuré, which is embedded in the Gramame river basin, and the stream located at Mumbaba community in the southwest of the João Pessoa city, both in the state of Paraíba. The methodology consisted in the analysis of water quality data. The data relating to physical and chemical parameters were analyzed over five sampling stations. Several changes were observed in the water quality of the stream and creek Mussuré, throughout its course. The levels of DO were well below the limit established by CONAMA Resolution 357/05 for Class 3 (4.0 mg/L) in five stations monitored. The station located about halfway through the course of the creek had the highest turbidity values, and the lowest water quality through the use of two indices mentioned, a fact that is due to industrial effluent discharge upstream of this station . The results it is concluded that the creek Mussuré, and the stream has a high degree of degradation and its waters pose a risk to the health of the user population.
