Abstract
The morphometric analysis of basins is a complementary way to explain the interactions between landscape elements and water quality. This study aimed to analyze the morphometry, quality, and quantity of water in the Mutum stream basin in the municipality of Uberaba, Brazil. The morphometric analysis, water flow through the float method, and water microbiological analysis were performed. The results indicated that the stream flow increased parallel to rainfall increase in October. The total area of the microbasin is 8.60 km², with a perimeter length of 12.73 km and 12.35 km of the main course. The microbasin has elongated, where the water flows easily and has the possibility of floods in the area. The water stream was contaminated by 2.20 NMP 100 mL-1 of fecal and thermotolerant coliforms, making it unfit for human consumption during the evaluated period.
