MONITORING OF SURFACE WATER QUALITY IN SUB-BASINS: A WORKFLOW PROPOSAL

Abstract

This work aimed was describe a workflow from the process the defining sampling points up to the water samples collection and conservation for evaluation and monitoring in sub-basins. The methodological procedures they were based on literature review and to illustrate the workflow application, a case study was carried in the Limoeiro stream, located in the municipalities of Presidente Prudente and Álvares Machado, São Paulo state. As result, we obtained location maps of the study area, land use and land cover, and the urban zoning of the municipality of Presidente Prudente, which enabled the definition of sampling points for the purpose of the sub-basin Limoeiro stream evaluating and/or monitoring. The use geotechnology as a facilitator in solving problems was observed.
