Resumo:
The research was based on the use of well water, as well as its applicability at the Federal University of Campina Grande, Campus Sumé – PB, aimed to analyze and compare physicochemical parameters in tubular wells at the Center for Sustainable Development of the Semiarid. The parameters evaluated involved the evaluation of pH, turbidity, electrical conductivity, hardness, chloride, alkalinity, sodium, potassium, dissolved oxygen, salinity, and total dissolved solids (TDS). The results revealed significant variations in the levels of several parameters, suggesting heterogeneity in the chemical composition of the water around the campus. Although most parameters were within acceptable standards, the high presence of chloride and sodium in some samples indicates the need for continuous monitoring and implementation of corrective actions. The complexity of water quality, evidenced by the interaction between alkalinity and hardness, highlights the importance of an integrated approach in evaluation and management. The results provide valuable insights for the sustainable management of water resources in the Semiarid region, especially for agricultural practices and academic activities.
