This research was developed in the center-urban area at the city of Dourados (MS), in Tibouchina granulosa trees, a plant popularly known as quaresmeira in Brazil. The floral visitors of this species were recorded in three daily periods: 7 - 8 a.m., 1 - 2 p.m. and 4 - 5 p. m. Bee visitors of those plants were collected with an entomological net when they landed on the flowers. The bees were anesthetized in a closed camera containing etila acetate, conserved in Dietrich ' s fixative and, soon afterwards, transferred to 70% ethyl alcohol for subsequent identification. Almost 300 specimens of Africanized Apis mellifera, Trigona spinipes and Tetragonisca angustula were collected. The presence of these three species of bees in the flowers of T. granulosa suggests that they can be considered the main floral visitors of that vegetal species. T. angustula workers did not visit the flowers of T. granulosa between 7 and 8 a.m., but they were the main floral visitors from 4 to 5 p.m. The workers of T. spinipes presented a very aggressive behavior against the Africanized A. mellifera workers on the quaresmeira flowers, defending the food sources with strength and efficiency and provoking a drastic reduction in the number of honeybee visits between 1 and 2 p.m. Nevertheless, they did not interfere in the opportunistic activity of foraging by T. angustula workers, mainly between 4 and 5 p.m. The most important result of this research was the detection of the Competitive Exclusion Principle between A. mellifera and T. spinipes species in relation to the foraging behavior, when they exploit the floral resources of T. granulosa.

A discussion about groundwater contamination is presented in this work. Contamination by agricultural activity, more specifically by pesticides is emphasized. Indirect and direct estimates could be used to predict pesticide behavior in soil, and consequently, to evaluate the potential of groundwater contamination. These results could be applied to advise about the possibility of groundwater contamination by pesticides, and to provide subsidies for making decisions more quickly and efficiently.

A cidade de Manaus está localizada numa região próxima ao centro da bacia Amazônica, cujo abastecimento de água é realizado pelas águas do Amazonas, sendo efetuado por captação da drenagem superficial do rio Negro e por poços tubulares, que exploram aqüíferos constituídos pela Formação Alter do Chão. Com o objetivo de investigar a hidroquímica das águas subterrâneas de Manaus, para caracterizar e avaliar a qualidade dos recursos hídricos em subsuperfície, aferiram-se os parâmetros físicos, físico-químicos e químicos das amostras de águas de poços tubulares selecionados. Os resultados obtidos dos parâmetros analisados mostraram que as águas estudadas são excelentes para consumo humano e industrial, por situarem-se dentro dos limites de potabilidade estabelecidos pela legislação vigente.

The Thermal Corridor of Uruguay River is located in the triple border of Argentine, Brazil and Uruguay, and shows an intense economic thermal tourism activity, mainly based on groundwaters from Guarani Aquifer System (GAS). Recent studies have pointed out the occurrence of high concentrations of arsenic (>10 μg/L) in GAS groundwater in this area. The complex geological and hydrogeological framework in the area is associated to the Paraná Basin geological evolution south of the Assuncion-Rio Grande Arch; it encompass paleozoic marine sequences and continental sequences permian/eotriassic to mesozoic in age, which are covered by basaltic lavas of Serra Geral Formation. Iron oxide coatings have been described in sandstones of Buena Vista and Sanga do Cabral formations, which underlie GAS units. Arsenic occurrence is associated to sodium bicarbonate groundwater with pH values over 8.0. Arsenic is released to groundwater by desorption from iron oxides/hydroxides, as result of the higher pH of these waters, indicating that arsenic is released from the units that underlie GAS units. Increase in chromium and uranium concentrations are also related to high pH groundwaters, thus indicating special care on using groundwater from this region.

Improper use of pesticides can lead to significant environmental impacts such as, contamination of environmental compartments, being the aquatic compartments the most vulnerable. In this context, the spatialization of pesticides concentrations estimative in groundwater provides important insights for decision making in managing and monitoring pesticides use. This study aimed to spatialize estimatives of groundwater contamination by Tebuthiuron, from different irrigation depths in the Rio Pardo basin, Pardinho-SP, Brazil. The simulations were performed using the ARAquá computer system, considering 0mm, 200 mm and 400 mm annual irrigation depths. Geostatistical techniques were used to obtain the spatial distribution of the simulated estimative. Tebuthiuron maps estimating concentration in groundwater were obtained by Kriging interpolation method, and indicated the areas with high potential for groundwater contamination. Considering all the simulations, it was concluded that there was no risk of groundwater contamination by Tebuthiuron in the study area.

Agriculture is an activity in which there is the possibility of using lower quality water and reuse appears as an alternative for irrigation. However, the negative environmental effects of reuse must be understood. The objective of the present work was to verify the potential of groundwater contamination by nitrogen duo to drip irrigation with effluent from domestic wastewater treatment. Three crop cycles of lettuce cv. Raider were conducted, the first between October and November 2009, the second in April and May 2010 and the third one in June and July 2010. The use of effluents was compared with potable water at accumulated water depths of 98.8 mm for the first, 98.4 mm for the second and 119 mm for the third cycle. Soil percolate concentrations of nitrate, nitrite and ammonia were studied at 0.25 m and 0.50 m depths in a completely randomized design. Percolate concentrations of nitrite and ammonia in soil irrigated with effluents showed no groundwater contamination risk. Nitrate however, caused concern, albeit with similar concentrations for both effluent and potable water.

Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a influência da unidade leito de contato na eficiência de remoção ferro em Estação de Tratamento de Água (ETA) tipo desferrização que trata água subterrânea. Os ensaios foram realizados em uma instalação piloto, composta por um aerador tipo tabuleiro, um leito de contato de fluxo ascendente e um filtro rápido de fluxo descendente, que tem capacidade para tratar cerca de 1,7m3/h. A ETA - piloto foi instalada no Setor Profissional do Campus Guamá da UFPA, sendo a água bruta proveniente de manancial subterrâneo, que contem ferro em teores elevados (em torno de 2mg/L). Na ETA - Piloto foram aplicadas taxas de filtração de 180m3/m2xdia, 270m3/m2xdia e 360m3/m2xdia em triplicata em duas fases experimentais: a primeira com leito de contato e segunda sem leito de contato. Foram monitoradas a carreira de filtração, a perda de carga e as variáveis: pH, Cor Aparente, Ferro (Total e Ferroso) e Turbidez. Para a Fase I as eficiências de remoção de ferro total obtidas para as taxas de filtração de 180m3/m2xdia, 270m3/m2xdia e 360m3/m2xdia foram de 93% a 94%, 85% a 95% e 91% a 92%, respectivamente. Para a Fase II as eficiências de remoção de ferro total ficaram em torno de 91% a 93%, 91% a 93% e 88% a 93%, respectivamente. As carreiras de filtração com leito de contato para as taxas de 180m3/m2xdia, 270m3/m2xdia e 360m3/m2xdia apresentaram tempo de duração média de 41h, 30h e 22,7h respectivamente, enquanto que na ausência de leito de contato a duração média foi de 16h, 12h e 4,7h, respectivamente. Dessa forma pode-se concluir que o leito de contato é uma unidade indispensável em uma ETA tipo desferrização, pois melhora o desempenho de sistema, produzindo efluente de boa qualidade e carreiras de filtração mais prolongadas.
