Abstract

The objective was to georeference the distribution of shallow wells used for irrigation and human consumption, as well as to characterize the water quality of these water sources in the district of Vazantes, in Aracoiaba-CE. The work was carried out in the district of Vazantes, located in the municipality of Aracoiaba, in the region of Maciço de Baturité, Ceará. We evaluated seven wells of the amazonas type, also known as cacimba, in which the water samples were collected in properly cleaned and hermetically sealed 250 mL plastic bottles (PETs) and sent to the laboratory for analysis. The samples were collected in the month of July 2022, the period referring to the end of the rainy season. The parameters evaluated were: water electrical conductivity (ECa), hydrogen potential (pH) and total dissolved salts (TDS). The quality of the groundwater in the wells evaluated showed inadequacies in the pH and ECa parameters with regard to potability standards, in which well P5 presented nonconformity regarding electrical conductivity, while well P3 presented nonconformity for pH. The vast majority of wells evaluated (P1, P2, P4, P6 and P7) presented parameters in compliance with legislation and can be used by owners for both irrigation and domestic activities.
