A zona de descontinuidade urbana da Remonta e sua influência na qualidade das águas do Ribeirão das Rosas - Juiz de Fora / MG

Abstract

The growing and continuous process of urbanization has been responsible for negatively affecting many natural elements, highlighting the influences that result in changing water quality. Juiz de Fora does not escape this general rule. With the absence of integrated and efficient policies in the production and transformation of urban space, the city has been presenting serious problems resulting from disordered population growth. This change in the water regime and reduction in the quality of springs contributed to the change in the water regime and reduction of water quality. Thus, with regard to environmental quality aspects, more specifically the quality of urban waters, this work sought to evaluate the influence of Remonta - an area characterized by the presence of significant vegetation cover and which acts as a process discontinuity zone. Juiz de Fora - in the quality of the waters of Ribeirão das Rosas, an urban tributary of the left bank of the Paraibuna River. The methodology was based on the evaluation of the water quality of this stream.
