Análise bacteriológica e reflorestamento da mata ciliar do igarapé da Ribeira, Manicoré, Amazonas, Brasil

Abstract

Since the colonization of man on earth, the human being has adopted the culture of erroneously discarding his “garbage” in the environment, thus allowing nature to function as a decomposition. As the years passed, the population grew and the civilization, and consequently the production of garbage gradually increased Studies reveal that most streams in the Amazon, located near the urban areas of cities, are strongly impacted, with their abiotic characteristics modified due to the constant rate of deforestation. Therefore, causing increased water pollution The municipality of Manicoré is located in the interior of the State of Amazonas and, as in the other municipalities, has several degraded streams due to several factors caused by anthropic action. In this sense, this work aims to sensitize the residents of Bairro Novo Horizonte, due to the consequences caused by the large amount of solid waste dumped in the collecting part of the Ribeira stream. In addition, it aimed to reforest the riparian forest, since the importance of preserving this area will serve for future generations. The main results obtained were the planting of more than 400 seedlings of eight tree and palm species on the left bank of Igarapé da Ribeira. Physicochemical and microbiological analyzes were performed that showed significant alterations and the presence of E. coli, according to with the report unfit for human use in any way. Key words.
