Résumé:
The preservation of water quality is a universal need, which requires attention from health authorities
and consumers in general, particularly with regard to water from springs, such as wells, springs, lakes,
among others intended for human consumption. The present work aimed to characterize the quality
from the physical-chemical analysis and spatial distribution of water from public wells in the urban
area of the municipality of Triunfo-PB, through geotechnologies. A survey of the geolocation of the
wells that are used to supply the triumphant population was carried out. Samples were collected from
nine (09) public tubular wells, and laboratory analyzes (pH, electrical conductivity, chlorides,
alkalinity, total hardness) were carried out in the period from 08 to 11 of February 2016, at the Water
Quality Laboratory UFCG/Sumé campus. In view of the results obtained, it was evident that the water
consumption of wells 1, 3, and 6, in the assessed situation, may represent a risk to public health, since
they presented high values of electrical conductivity, chlorides and alkalinity; for well 8, only hardness
is in disagreement with the current legislation, not presenting ideal drinking conditions; therefore, they
may be able to transmit waterborne illnesses.
