Thus, this study aims at diagnosing the water quality from an artesian well in the Central Region of the State of Rio Grande do Sul, in order to prove the potability in relation to the potable parameters established in Portaria No. 2.914, of December 12, 2011, of Ministry of Health. For this, the experimental procedures held were: pH determination, temperature, total dissolved solids, hardness, sodium and potassium, total coliforms and residual iron concentration. After the water sample analysis, it was verified that the consumption of this sample is indicated for the population, since the parameters obtained are in accordance with Portaria Nº 2.914, of 2011.</p> ER -
