Descrição de parâmetros físico- químicos das águas dos lagos da Apa Nhamundá, AM no período da enchente

Abstract

The objective of this work is to describe the physico-chemical parameters of the water in the flood period of the Amazon river, in APA Nhamundá floodplain lakes, AM. This work contributes to the expansion of knowledge about APA Nhamundá, which can be used by the managing body of this conservation unit, and serve as a source of information for future research and possible conservation projects. The data were obtained during a tour in May of 2015 (flood). A multiparameter meter (AKSO) was used to determine DO, conductivity, temperature, pH. The variables such as hardness, ammonia and alkalinity were determined in the UEA biology laboratory using the commercial kit (Alfa Kit). The depth was determined using an improvised bathymetry. The data show three patterns of water type (white, green, black) according to their characteristics, with relative variation of the analyzed parameters among the three types of water observed.
