Abstract

Water plays a central role in sustainable development, encompassing social, economic, and environmental dimensions: social, economic and environmental. The Arroio Duro Dam, located in the municipality of Camaquã - RS, is a reservoir that provides water for the public supply of approximately 60,000 inhabitants, in addition to enabling recreational activities and serving as a source of irrigation for agriculture. This work aims to evaluate the environmental quality of the Arroio Duro Dam using the determination of genotoxicity through pollen abortion in pollen grains of the bioindicator plant species Tradescantia pallida var. purpurea and the health quality bioindicator Escherichia coli. Preliminary results from two collections indicate high genotoxicity of the samples in relation to the negative control (p<0.05). Analyzes of the sanitary conditions of the Arroio Duro Dam indicated that the water is appropriate for the assigned uses, within the limits established by Brazilian legislation. This work highlights the importance of bioindicators in the integrated determination of environmental quality, generating results that assist in the integrated management of water resources in their multiple uses.
