Abstract

It`s possible to performer evaluation of the quality of the water resources to determine and/or diagnose the real conditions. The objective is to analyze the role of water as a risk factor for consumers' health. The methodology is resumed in evaluating the socio-environmental situation of water users (11 communities), well as microbiological analyzes of water in the community of Pedra de Amolar, using the Quant Tray 2000 method, Colilert system for coliforms. 47% of community water consumed in nature, 37% consumed filtered water and 16% fry. In the microbiological analyzes, 62.5% of the samples had a limit of thermotolerant coliforms greater than 1.000 UFC/100 ml of water, suggesting a contamination by coliforms in the water that supplies the Pedra de Amolar community and reflects a health risk situation.
