Abstract

This study aimed to monitor the effects of anthropic action on outcrops waters quality located in the Ubá city - Brazil. For this study, ten outcrops waters had their physical, chemical and microbiological characteristics monitored throughout the year 2013, for five times. The results showed that there was a great environmental degradation and only 30% of outcrops waters monitored presented adequate fresh consumption of the standard portability point of view, making it necessary interventions to ensure its quality.

 

Key words: Potability, pollution, water analysis.
