Environmental contamination, Swine Manure, Bacteriological evaluationAbstract
Intensive swine activity in Santa Catarina presents itself as an environmental problem related to the management of the manure generated by this activity. Thus, it is usual to apply the waste in agricultural areas near the units of production of pigs, however, this practice when carried out without technical recommendation can cause soil and water sources pollution and/or contamination. The aim of this study was to evaluate the pH values and E. coli presence in water sources in a region with intense swine activity in the State of Santa Catarina. Lentic and lotic water sources were evaluated in four rural properties and in the Coruja River, in the watershed of Coruja/Bonito River, in the municipality of Braço do Norte/SC, being that the pH values in water and the presence and quantification of thermotolerant coliforms, represented by the bacteria Escherichia coli, throught CONOMA resolution nº357/2005. The pH values were below the minimum limit established by the legislation and, for the bacteriological evaluation, the study points were below the limit established by the legislation also. However, the presence of these microrganisms indicates the constant arrival of material of enteric origin.

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.
