| Abstract | |
In the city of Ribeirão Preto - SP, the quality of groundwater is in front of a potential threat by leaching of several fuels storage tanks. The public supply is fully performed from ground source. In the view of toxility of many of components of petroleum deriveds, it is high importance the assessment of risk of contamination by such substances, that is target of study intended here. The goal of this work was to assess the spatial and time distribution of hydrocarbons concentrations around the actived pumping wells and to outline the well head protection area around the public supply wells susceptibles to contamination by hyclrocarbons. For to perform the goal this research were used semi analytical models, by software well head protection area (WHPA) and API\'s models (American Petroleum Institute), like SESOIL, AT123D and Jury, inside of DSS package (Decision Support System) , APlDSS. It were applied the SESOIL (non satured) and AT123D (satured zone) models and assessed the receiver points concentrations. Also it were applied the chemical input module for risk assessment for human health for that models had been used contaminated water intake, inhalation during shower and dermal contact with contaminate water routes of exposition. It was assessed the sensibility of APIDDS\'s models, simulating leaching based on work of OLIVEIRA (1992) for values of longitudinal dispersivities of 15 and 20 meters. The following stage was the identification of greatest risk points and delimitation of well heads protection areas (WHPAs) throught software WHPA. Following these areas were puted on to vulnerability chart to groundwater contamination at the region of Ribeirão Preto - SP (FERREIRA, 1992). Around these water supply wells were observated BTEX concentrations throught use of photoionizatior DL-101. (AU) | |
