Avaliação das adutoras de água bruta do Córrego da Laje e do Ribeirão das Chácaras, em Piracema, MG

Abstract

This work evaluates the raw water aqueducts of Córrego da Laje and Ribeirão das Chácaras, part of the urban water supply system of Piracema, MG. The objective of this analysis was to verify aspects related to the useful life of these facilities, as well as the current condition of these two systems, in terms of the quantity and quality of the captured water. In order to achieve the objective, the methodology included an inspection to survey physical characteristics and photographic records, followed by a technical meeting to verify data with the SEMAE (Municipal Water and Sewerage Department). The research showed that the facilities have problems with their useful life and risk of not meeting future demands, and it was also evident that both sources need a “Water Safety Plan”.
