Avaliação da água subterrânea a partir dos poços perfurados no bairro da prata em Campina Grande - PB: mapeamento, qualidade e vazão disponível.

Abstract

With the long period of drought that hit the semi-arid region of Northeastern Brazil from 2011 until the beginning of 2017, we had as a consequence the loss in the level of water in several of the reservoirs existing in this region, being one of them the Epitácio Pessoa dam that is responsible for supply the city of Campina grande. Due to this problem the demand for other water sources to meet the needs of the population has arisen, especially in high demand areas such as residential buildings, commercial areas and hospitals, and one of the alternatives found by users was the use of groundwater through drilling of wells. Among the various neighborhoods of Campina Grande, the silver neighborhood is the one that best fits the characteristics mentioned above, because it has several residential buildings, many clinics, several commercial points and colleges, so this work had the objective of performing a survey of the existing drillings in the silver district to analyze the characteristics of the wells and to determine if the groundwater would be used within the permitted parameters. All well drilling data were obtained from companies specialized in this area, and with them in hand it was possible to perform several analyzes, such as well depth, flow data and water quality.
