INCT-Acqua publishes article entitled “Hydrochemical assessment of surface water in watersheds near the Uranium Mining and Milling Facilities of Caldas, Brazil”

INCT-Acqua through the CDTN researchers, published an article entitled ” “Hydrochemical assessment of surface water in watersheds  near the Uranium Mining and Milling Facilities of Caldas, Brazil”.  The article was the result of extensive work carried out in the region . The aim of this work is to evaluate, by hydrochemical studies, the influence of acidic effluents from the Caldas UMMF, on the hydrochemistry of surface water along three watersheds: Consulta Brook, Soberbo Creek and Taquari River. Twelve sampling stations were established to carry out the investigation. Two of them were located at effluent retention ponds. Sampling was performed in the rainy and dry seasons of 2011.
