Absolute separator system, Urban rainwater drainage, Epidemiological and environmental risksAbstract
The city of Campina Grande has presented serious problems of water logging and flooding during the rainy season, generated by a deficiency in the management of the absolute separation system adopted, as well as the poor investment in the sanitation sector, contributing to the existence of epidemiological and environmental risks. This study aimed to analyze the absolute separation system in the context of rainwater drainage of Campina Grande, based on the case study of the canal of Piabas. Along the canal five sample points were selected to evaluate the behavior of the water quality. The indicators of water quality adopted in this work were turbidity, TSS, BOD, COD, DO and CTT, in order to identify the existence of contamination by sewage. Evaluating the results of the indicators analyzed was observed that all points were contaminated by sewage, and the point P1 which is less polluted, evidencing the occurrence of sewage contribution along the canal. It was concluded that water of canal of Piabas characterized as weak domestic sewage, thereby showing that the system adopted does not work as an absolute separator, exposing the population to epidemiological risks, and affecting the quality of receiving bodies.Downloads

Ethical guidelines for journal publication
The REMOA 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. Reviews 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 referee 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.
