Abstract

Natural and anthropogenic factors influence water and sediment in springs. In rural areas, agricultural and livestock activities affect the dynamics and structure of spring ecosystems. This study aimed to assess differences in the sediment chemical compositions and the presence of thermotolerant coliforms in the water of fifteen springs, in Serrinha region, located in rural landscape of the five Grande River’s sub basins. Concentrations of metals and nutrients were analyzed, along with density estimates of thermotolerant coliforms, to correlate these parameters with land use and occupation. Lead, chromium, nickel, and manganese were not detected in the samples, considering the detection limits of the analytical equipment. Principal component analysis (PCA) indicated that sub-basin 3 had the highest calcium concentrations, while sub-basin 6 exhibited elevated levels of phosphorus, aluminum, and magnesium. Sub-basin 2 had high concentrations of potassium and iron, while sub-basins 1 and 4 showed the highest levels of copper and thermotolerant coliforms, which are probably associated with pasture areas around springs. The coliforms values in these sub-basins suggest a direct influence of livestock activities, emphasizing the need for management practices that prevent the animal waste contact with spring water. The results indicate that the dynamics of chemical elements in sediments are directly related to land use in the region. These findings underscore the importance of adequate preservation of riparian vegetation and controlling diffuse pollution to ensure water resource quality
