| Sumario: | This article describes the final destination of sanitary effluents in the Environmental Protection Area (APA) Vargem das Flores an important region located between the municipalities of Betim and Contagem/MG, which shelter several native specimens of flora and fauna, beyond to be an important source water supply to the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte (RMBH). Data from the Demographic Census of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), the Minas Gerais Sanitation Company (COPASA), the Minas Gerais Water Management Institute (IGAM) and the National Sanitation Information System (SNIS), were analyzed. Data crossing allowed to identify the APA regions that do not have an official sewage network and their correlation with the average monthly family income. The results showed a decrease that, sewage contamination was responsible for the descent in the Water Quality Index (IQA), between the years 2014 and 2015, in addition to the significant increase in the presence of Escherichia coli, an important indicator of fecal contamination in the water. |
