Abstract

The city of Manaus has numerous bodies of water called igarapés (canoe path – from Tupi) and this is due to the proximity of the water table to the surface, the climatological conditions and the geomorphology of the region. It is known that the city of Manaus underwent an intense and vertiginous process of urbanization, associated with a great polluting pressure on water resources, not only surface water bodies, but also the aquifer. Ionic ratios are ways of establishing similarities in geological environments and show how distinct environments with similar geochemistry can exist. However, similar chemical aspects do not always characterize natural conditions and may represent anthropogenic influence. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the ionic ratios of Mg/Na - Ca/Na, HCO3/Na - Ca/Na and Na/Cl x electrical conductivity, based on a monitoring of these variables, which lasted from June 2021 to May 2022, in the Educandos Watershed, in Manaus, associating the study between surface water and groundwater. The results suggested that there is similarity between the aquifer and the igarapé in 2/3 of the groundwater samples, which may be a strong indication of an interaction between the aquifer and surface water, possibly in an infiltration in the igarapé - aquifer sense.

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.
