ANÁLISE DA TENDÊNCIA ESPACIAL DO DESCONTÍNUO FLUVIAL DO CÓRREGO DO LIMOEIRO, MUNICÍPIO DE PRESIDENTE PRUDENTE/SP

Abstract

This article aimed to analyze the Discontinuous River in the Limoeiro stream, Presidente Prudente/SP city, through limnological monitoring at three sampling sections, two sections in the Limoeiro stream, one upstream and one downstream of the confluence with the Veado stream, and a section in the Veado stream upstream of the confluence with Limoeiro stream. The limnological variables determined were dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity, nitrate, turbidity, water temperature and flow. In lab protocols the material in full suspension, total and dissolved phosphorus, and orthophosphate were determined. Monitoring results were tabulated and the principal component analysis. The results indicate that the Veado stream causes a disruption in the natural gradient of the main channel, the Limoeiro stream.
