Abstract

This research aimed to understand the perceptions of residents and the quality of water supplied by the public network and the Iratapuru and Jari rivers in the Extractive Communities: São Francisco do Iratapuru, Santo Antônio da Cachoeira and Quilombo São José - State of Amapá - AP. For this, the qualitative-qualitative approach was used through the application of interviews and carrying out physical-chemical and microbiological analyzes to assess whether the parameters are in accordance with Ordinance GM/MS No. 888/2021 and CONAMA Resolution 357. It was found that for the interviewees, the water supplied presents undesirable particularities such as dirt and color. While the physical-chemical and microbiological analyzes are within the legal guidelines, except for the Total Coliforms and Thermotolerant parameters.
