Despite being vital for human existence, water can carry substances and microorganisms harmful to health. Therefore, monitoring water quality based on potability parameters, such as physicochemical and microbiological analyses, is essential. Thus, in this project, the water quality of drinking fountains in the three buildings of the Glória campus of the Federal University of Uberlândia (Uberlândia, Minas Gerais) was analyzed in accordance with the standards established by the Ordinance of Health Ministry nº 888/2021. The water quality was investigated through analysis using the multiple-tube technique and physicochemical parameters such as pH, turbidity, conductivity, dissolved solids and chlorine residual concentration. The analyses were performed in triplicate at 17 drinking fountains over a 12-month period, with four sampling events at each drinking fountain, totaling 68 samples. In the bacteriological analyses, no coliforms were detected in any sample, indicating the potability of the consumed water and the absence of contamination. For the chlorine residual parameter, the reference value for drinking water is 0,2 to 5 mg.L-1; however, in nine months the samples showed slightly lower values, occurring in months 1, 4, and 7 in block 1CCG; months 2 and 8 in block 1BCG; and in all analyzed months in block 1DCG. The mean values of this parameter was 0.19 mg.L-1. The other physicochemical parameters were in accordance with the Potability Standard for water for human consumption, with mean values of: pH 7.3, turbidity 0.38 NTU, conductivity 88.1 µS.cm-1, and dissolved solids 43.5 mg.L-1, demonstrating the good quality of the water on this campus. The data obtained showed that the samples were in compliance with the legislation, indicating the potability of the analyzed water. However, the chlorine residual parameter presented some values slightly below the recommended range, possibly due to the analyses being performed on water after passing through the filtration system, which may partially remove chlorine. Therefore, continuous monitoring of this parameter is essential to ensure the maintenance of water quality.

Despite progress in water supply services, sewage collection and treatment still have insufficient coverage across much of the national territory. In the municipality of Uberlândia, although recognized for the efficiency of its sanitation system, peripheral areas with precarious infrastructure persist, such as the Élisson Prieto neighborhood. Originating from an urban settlement, the neighborhood faces limitations in sanitation services, a lack of efficient urban drainage systems, and significant environmental problems, particularly erosive processes associated with disordered land occupation and inadequate stormwater management. In this context, this study aims to analyze the influence of the absence of drainage infrastructure on erosive processes and quality of life in the Élisson Prieto neighborhood. The research is characterized as a qualitative, exploratory case study, using participatory diagnosis with female residents of the neighborhood, field observation, photographic records, and spatial analysis to identify locations affected by erosive processes along local streets using Google Earth Pro software. The results demonstrate that the lack of stormwater drainage and paving directly contributes to the intensification of erosive processes, residents’ mobility, health, and quality of life. Erosion features such as rills and gullies were observed, particularly in areas with steeper slopes and little or no vegetation cover. Residents’ reports also indicated problems related to the accumulation of solid waste, dust, and structural risks, reinforcing the neighborhood’s condition of socio-environmental vulnerability. It is concluded that erosive processes are recurrent in the neighborhood under study and are associated with the precarious urban infrastructure and the unequal production of space, highlighting the need for public policies aimed at improving urban conditions in peripheral areas. 2026-05-28T00:00:00Z
