Factor analysis and geoprocessing techniques were complementary tools for integration and visual presentation of results from water quality and fluvial sediment studies in Baixo Jacuí region, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. Samples were taken along 18 months in 15 sites along the Jacuí river and main tributaries, especially Conde creek, where there is important anthropogenic contribution associated to coal explotation, processing and waste disposal. The proposed water quality index to the region has facilitated the detection of critical fluvial segments, particularly related to trace elements concentration in Conde creek. In Jacuí river it was not observed a water quality variation, problably in responde to a high dilution capacity. On the other hand, the application of fatorial analysis techniques to sediment data suggested its great sensitivity to assess the main sources of pollution to the water resources in the study region and pointed out the accumulation of pollutants in the sediments, from industrial and coaI processing related sources. This results could be integrated by geoprocessing techniques to facilitate public presentation.Downloads

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.
