“…The quantity and quality of water both surface or ground water have been deteriorated as a result of some significant points such as growing population, industrialization and social process [1][2][3][4]. Water quality is defined as all an information of biological, chemical, and physical elements of water and their interaction to decide the suitable usage for water [5]. In fact, described water quality dependent on which kind of using.…”

“…Atualmente, muitos parâmetros físicos e químicos utilizados caracterizam a qualidade da água e a contaminação da água (Taner et al, 2011). Os métodos convencionais utilizados para analisar e transportar a qualidade da água são normalmente baseados na comparação dos valores dos padrões com os regulamentos locais (Liu et al, 2012).…”

HighlightsTourism development on the south coast of Rio de Janeiro;Water quality impacts resulted from human presence;We selected 20 water sampling stations and evaluated the seasonal water quality variation;Water quality changes between seasons became clear;The Water Quality Index (WQI) was very useful for the classification of the waters monitored. PurposeThe main objective of the present paper is to detect the tourism influence in the water quality of the municipality of Paraty and surrounding water bodies, analyze individual parameters and use the WQI.Design/methodology/approachIn the present paper a simple management tool was applied in order to prevent future tourism impacts in coastal areas.FindingsAlthough considered in its natural state, the area already showed impact signals.Research limitations/implicationsThe analysis need to be more enhanced for finding the spatiotemporal evolution in the estuarine environment.Practical implicationsThe paper provides a starting point for minimizing the negative impacts of tourism.Originality/valueThe present paper contributes so that tourism may become a positive factor of local development.

“…The monitoring of the Water Quality Index (WQI) is one of the methods to assess the quality and health of all rivers. Furthermore, studies on water quality index have been conducted by many researchers and are aimed at creating various water management systems such as river, lagoon, lakes and beach systems [5][6][7][8]. In this regard, the Department of Environment has classified rivers into a few classes such as class I, II, III, IV and V, based on the National Water Quality Standard (NWQS) and WQI.…”

This study is aimed to look at the level of water quality deterioration in Terengganu River Basin. Environmental management studies on the deterioration of water quality in Terengganu River Basin have been using data collection and analysis methods. The Gravimetric method was used to analysis the TSS measured in mg/L. 250 ml water samples was needed for each study area (each station). All preparation and preservation of the samples are in accordance with standard procedures provided by the American Public Health Society (APHA) and United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). The results show that Terengganu River Basin is classified in level III that is contaminated. The Terengganu River Basin is contaminated at the downstream to the middle of the river due to anthropogenic activity. Moreover, the results indicate that the amount of AN and TSS is higher and is a major contributor to the deterioration of water quality in the Terengganu River Basin. Management of water resources should be improved and noted. This study has proposed several steps in managing water resources such as settlement of land use solutions, regulatory methods, river quality monitoring programs, minimizing waste, wall construction, the use of Geographic Information System (GIS) and legislative measures.
