dc.description.abstract | The hydraulic characteristics of the Gualaxo do Norte River (RGN), a tributary of the upper Rio Doce basin, were affected in November 2015 by the rupture of the iron ore tailings dam at Fundão, in Bento Rodrigues, Mariana, Minas Gerais. We analyzed two sections of the RGN, located upstream and downstream of the Fundão dam. Measurements were taken at 11 stations along the main river in distinct seasonal periods, including river depth, river width, velocity, and flow. We also calculated the deoxygenation coefficient (K1) and the reaeration coefficient (K2) and collected elaborate bathymetric profiles of the sections. Anthropogenic interference influenced the river’s hydraulic characteristics mainly in relation to the depth. In upstream sections, the changes are believed to be due to mining activities at the head of the river, while downstream effects were due to the introduction of iron ore tailings coming from the rupture of the Fundão dam. Despite these influences, deoxygenation coefficient values were typical for clean water, and the reaeration coefficient findings show that the RGN is efficient at biological degradation of the organic matter even receiving untreated domestic sewage from riparian communities. With the results obtained in this work, we seek to replicate a source of information about the current state of the region and to contribute information to future river planning, control, and restoration projects. | pt_BR |
