摘要：Balneability is an important parameter to ensure the quality of the river for recreational activities, being a tool that makes it possible to minimize risks to human health. The watershed of the Turiau River is important, since it crosses the municipality of Santa Helena and, as far as is known, there is no data related to Balneability in this municipality. Therefore, this work aimed to identify the bathing points and sewage dump on the banks of the Turiau river through in loco research. In addition, this work addresses a qualitative-quantitative research carried out with the population of the municipality of Santa Helena to identify the Balneability of the Turiau river. Eight bathing sites and three sewage disposal points were identified. Some bathing spots are close to sewage dump points, and, since people use bathing sites very often, monitoring programs for Biodegradability are necessary.
