A variação na qualidade de água depende do regime hidrológico do rio, principalmente da variabilidade do deflúvio. Este trabalho foi conduzido na bacia hidrográfica do Alto Capivari, localizada 20 km ao norte da Região Metropolitana de Curitiba, Estado do Paraná, Brasil. Foram analisados e comparados dados diários de qualidade de água e de vazão de 1998 a 1999. Os resultados mostram que a qualidade das águas sofreram grande variação com a vazão, principalmente em relação a alguns parâmetros de qualidade, tais como turbidez, pH, alcalinidade, cor e matéria orgânica. Esta alta variabilidade foi relacionada ao deflúvio por meio de coeficientes correlação. As correlações encontradas foram fortes, denotando uma tendência, quando comparados intervalos de vazão com a média dos valores médios dos parâmetros. Com exceção do pH e alcalinidade, todos os parâmetros tiveram seus valores elevados quando há aumento na vazão, o mesmo ocorrendo com o desvio padrão. Abstract Water quality variability depends on the hydrological regime of the river or stream, meanly water discharge variability. This work was carried out in the Alto Capivari basin, located 20 km northern part of Curitiba’s Metropolitan Region, Paraná state, Brazil. Daily dates of quality water and water discharge from 1998 to 1999 were analyzed and compared. The results reveal that the stream water quality varies significantly with discharge mainly for turbidity, alkalinity, pH, color and organic matter. This high variability was linked to discharge by means of coefficient of correlation. The results indicate a good correlation while comparing the discharge intervals in the stream with average of the studied parameters. With exception of pH and alkalinity, all parameters increased with increasing the discharge and it occurred with standard deviation.

Forest to pasture land use change following deforestation in Southern Amazonia can result in changes to stream water quality. However, some pasture streams have riparian forest buffers, while others are dammed for farm ponds. Stream corridor management can have differential effects on hydrology and dissolved organic matter (DOM) characteristics. We examined rainfall-runoff patterns and DOM characteristics in a pasture catchment with a forested riparian buffer, and an adjacent catchment with an impoundment. Total streamflow was 1.5 times higher with the riparian buffer, whereas stormflow represented 20% of total discharge for the dammed stream versus 13% with buffer. Stream corridor management was also the primary factor related to DOM characteristics. In the impounded catchment, DOM was found to be less structurally complex, with lower molecular weight compounds, a lesser degree of humification, and a larger proportion of protein-like DOM. In the catchment with a forested buffer, DOM was dominated by humic-like components, with fluorescence characteristics indicative of DOM derived from humified soil organic matter under native vegetation. Our results suggest that differences in stream corridor management can have important implications for carbon cycling in headwater pasture catchments, and that such changes may have the potential to influence water quality downstream in the Amazon basin.

Computerized modeling is becoming an integral part of decision making in water pollution control. Expert systems is an innovative methodology that can assist in building, using, and interpreting the output of these models. This paper reviews the use and evaluates the potential of expert systems technology in environmental modeling and describes elements of an expert advisor for the stream water quality model QUAL2E. Some general conclusions are presented about the tools available to develop this system, the level of available technology in knowledge-based engineering, and the value of approaching problems from a knowledge engineering perspective.
