Abstract

The hydrographic basins have been going through several transformations of their natural landscapes through anthropic interventions, which causes environmental disturbances in the water bodies. The Córrego da Cascata basin has the largest Atlantic Forest forest fragment in the municipality of Presidente Prudente – SP, it is in a scenario of landscape transformation through land use and land cover due to the increase in human activities such as urbanization, pasture for pastoral, perennial and annual agriculture. The aim of this study was to evaluate the physical-chemical and biological parameters of the waters of the stream, which crosses the Chico Mendes Municipal Ecological Park (Mata do Furquim). According to the IQA, the three study points were classified as regular along the stream. The BMWP index rated one point as bad and two points as regular waters.
