Résumé:
This study aimed to establish correlations among chemical characteristics of the
available superficial waters for irrigation in the Zona Oeste Potiguar of the Rio Grande do Norte
State, in order to simplify the quality evaluation of them. At monthly intervals, water samples of 59
sources, comprising 29 municipalities of the region, was collected during two years. It was verified
that the concentrations of Cl-, Ca+2, Mg+2 , Na+ and sum of cations (ΣCAT) can be estimated from the
ECiw with good accuracy.
