A Visual Physical-Chemical Parameters Analysis Approach for Evaluating the Influence of Port Facilities in Surface Water Quality |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
Water is one of the most precious assets on the planet, being essential for life and used for a wide range of purposes, such as irrigation of crops, power generation, navigation and transportation of cargo and passengers, among other activities. In the context of cargo handling, ports in Brazil have increased in importance at both national and international levels. In this sense, this work aims to propose a visual analysis of the physical-chemical parameters of the surface water to evaluate the influence of the port activity on its quality, using visualization techniques such as treemap, parallel coordinates, scatter plot, and histogram. The scenario evaluated corresponds to water around port facilities of Belém, Miramar and Vila do Conde, which are managed by Companhia Docas do Pará, located in the northern region of Brazil, in the state of Pará. The water quality assessment guideline will have as a basis the influence of the cargo with a higher volume of movement, the anthropic actions near the port, and Brazilian environmental legislation. The results indicate that the port activity has no relevant impacts on the quality of surface water compared to the launch of domestic sewage without adequate treatment near the port units and that the excessive rains potentiate this scenario. |
