Influência da sazonalidade nos parâmetros físico-químicos da água

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of seasonality, with emphasis on rainfall, on the physical and chemical parameters of water, based on an integrated data analysis approach. The research includes both raw water and treated water, allowing a comparative assessment of how seasonal variations, especially rainfall patterns, impact water quality at different stages of the treatment process. In the case of treated water, samples from two different Water Treatment Plants (WTP) will be evaluated, enabling a more comprehensive analysis by considering units with different operational characteristics, treatment methods, and collection regions. The data used in the research were obtained through laboratory analyses conducted in accordance with the standardized procedures of the Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, ensuring the reliability and comparability of the results. The information was then organized and processed with the help of Python and Microsoft Excel software, using descriptive statistics tools, graphical analysis, and correlation tests. The focus was to identify patterns, trends and possible anomalies in physical-chemical parameters during periods of drought and heavy rainfall, in order to better understand the relationship between climate and water quality.
