This project aims to strengthen collaboration between research groups coordinated by Prof. Dr. Eduardo Vicente, from the Department of Microbiology and Ecology, Faculty of Biological Sciences, University of Valencia (Campus de Burjassot, Valencia, Spain), with the group coordinated by me in the Department of Ecology, Institute of Biosciences, University from São Paulo. The activities plan…
This work aims to study in a comparative way six reservoirs cascading into the Tietê river (Barra Bonita, Bariri, Ibitinga, Promissão, Nova Avanhandava, Três Irmãos) (São Paulo, Brazil) through remote sensing techniques, using Sentinel images 2 (S2), worked on the SNAP software, both from the European Space Agency. It is expected to validate the algorithms to estimate the chlorophyll a (C…
Assessing the water quality of lakes and reservoirs is a fundamental step in active environmental management programs. In addition to the classic procedures for in situ water samples collecting, complementary approaches are also interesting. This work aims to study comparatively numerous São Paulo reservoirs, using remote sensing techniques, using images from the Sentinel 2 satellite (A a…
Assessing the water quality of lakes and reservoirs is a fundamental step in active environmental management programs. In addition to the classic in-situ water sampling procedures proposed in this project, it is also interesting to apply other complementary approaches to on-site studies. This work aims to study the Barra Bonita reservoir (São Paulo), evaluating the quality of its waters a…
Eutrophication is a historical and recurring process and cannot be neglected in Brazil. Based on Atlas Sewers, from 2018, there are about 95 million people in equivalent sewage released in nature, untreated in the country. This scenario allows us to conclude that it is essential to maintain active water and sediment quality monitoring programs, with the information available in open publi…

The scientific initiation fellow (SI) requested will develop the project titled "Use of satellite images in evaluating the water quality of reservoirs used for public supply: with an emphasis on chlorophyll-a," contributing to Subthemes 6.1 and 6.2 of the call for proposals. For the years 2021 and 2022, field collections are planned in at least three zones of each of the six reservoirs st…
To estimate chlorophyll a (Chla) concentrations and Secchi disk depth (DS) using algorithms in S2 images, it is convenient to confirm these observations through field data, which will be developed in this project. Samples will be collected in at least three zones from each of the six reservoirs studied in the Cantareira System (SC). Of which chlorophyll concentrations, DS depth and the re…
Zooplankton includes microscopic animals that live suspended in the water and are considered indicators of environmental quality, because their sensitivity to changes in the aquatic environment due to anthropogenic interference. The Cantareira System is composed of five reservoirs covering 12 cities in two states in Southeastern Brazil. Despite recording a few negative impacts relative to…
The Cantareira System is one of the main public systems of water supply in the São Paulo Metropolitan Area (SPMA). It is a complex system, compounded of six reservoirs interconnected by tunnels. The water quality of the reservoirs upstream affects the quality of the water that reaches to the last reservoir of the system, the Paiva Castro. The great importance of this system is due to two …
The aim of this project is to know the chemical and ecological status of waters and sediments of Guarapiranga reservoir and discriminate possible adverse factors for biota. To achieve this objective is planned sampling water and sediments for chemical analyses of pesticides, heavy metals and cyanotoxins, as well as are planned sampling sediments to study the benthic invertebrate community…

The quality of inland waters has been significantly impacted by anthropogenic activities, demanding more effective monitoring methods. Traditional chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) monitoring, an important indicator of phytoplankton biomass, eutrophication, and aquatic ecosystem health, has limitations in terms of spatial scale, frequency, and associated costs. In this context, remote sensing combine…
The sediments are very important in aquatic ecosystem, since they are the final destiny of many compounds that enter in the water body, constituting a concentrated pool of these substances. Besides, the understanding of sediment dynamics (structure, function and heterogeneity) enables the understanding of important aspects of the water mass dynamics. This project aims the study of seven r…
