RESUMO

It evaluates the alteration of the quality of the water in the region of discharges of domestic effluents into the Três Irmãos reservoir, due to the application, since 1996, of ammonium nitrate into the sewer system of the city of Pereira Barreto. Six trips to collect samples were performed bimonthly between October 2004 and August 2005.The samples were collected at six different points: five in the reservoir and one in the Sewage Treatment Plant in Pereira Barreto. In each station of the reservoir, the samples were collected on the surface, at half depth and at the bottom. Water and sewage samples were obtained for analysis of physical, chemical and hydrobiological parameters. In order to better evaluate the quality of water, as well as the quality of the final effluent from the sewage of the Sewage Treatment Plant, the Wilcoxon Signed-rank Test for Paired Data (Nonparametric Test), the Principal Component Analysis and the Hierarchical Cluster Analysis Methods were performed. The results showed that the levels of nitrate-nitrogen in the water and in the final effluent were way below the maximum limit established by CONAMA 357/05 for Class 2 waters (10 mg/L). It was concluded that, environmentally speaking, the addition of ammonium nitrate to reduce the odors in sanitary sewer systems was not potentially significant to cause a negative impact on the reservoir. It was also concluded that the region under study in the reservoir is well oxygenated, even in deeper layers, with low turbidity levels and slightly alkaline pH; however, high electrical conductivity and high concentrations of nutrients (phosphorus and ammonia) were observed, mainly in summer. This is mainly due to the influence of the domestic sewage which is discharged in that area.
