Abstract

Burial of human bodies in places without treatment and adequate infrastructure may impact the soil and sheet water table through infiltration and percolation of the necrocumume, inasmuch as the water table being in contact with the plume of contamination occurs the solubilization of the ions present in necrochorume the which favors the enrichment of salts, thus altering the quality of underground water. For this reason, the objective of this study was to evaluate the level in the groun sheet water tablein the electrical conductivity and in the pH under influence of a graveyard in the metropolitan region of Goiânia (GO). Therefore, were built, five monitoring wells were constructed, of which took in consideration the declivity of the terrain. This after, there was the collection of underground water with tubes bailers was well as monitoring in the sheet water table between the monthes March and August 2018, the analysis of the parameters of electrical conductivity and groundwater pH of samples of the water of monitoring wells, therefore the data were inserted in the program Excel (2013) for confection of the graphics. The results obtained demonstrate that the level in the groun sheet water tableinfeed influence at electrical conductivity and pH due to variations of electrical conductivity and acidification from the pH, being like this one indicative the gives contamination underground water by necrochorume.
