The current condition involving the quality and quantity of groundwater abstractions through wells. At present time there are several studies in groundwater that aim to analyze the occurrence or the way that this process occurs in the underground environment (aquifer). Recharge varies from year to year, depending on the amount of direct precipitation, its seasonal distribution, air temperature, land use, and other factors like geology. Therefore, this paper aims to relate the Electrical Conductivity (EC) in groundwater and variable rainfalls. We evaluated four wells on the campus of the Federal University of Santa Maria -RS, in the years 2012 and 2013. They penetrate the Guarani Aquifer System (SAG) at outcrop zone. The data was produced with a weekly frequency, using a Solinst water level meter TLC (Temperature, Level, and Conductivity). The TLC meter is ideal for profiling conductivity and temperature in wells. These parameters were compared with rainfall data, obtained from a weather station in the campus and ordered a weekly sum. Of the four wells studied, there was a decrease in EC because of rain, three of them disabled, in a pit no direct relationship. One active well there is no relationship this parameter probably associated to exploitation of groundwater reservoir. Therefore, it is inferred that the rainfall was a factor influencing the (EC) values on groundwater, at studied area.

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication
The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
