The present study investigated the water quality along the Beberibe River in the North Metropolitan Pernambuco basin. With a length of 23.27 kilometers and a drainage area of 79 square kilometers, the river flows through the municipalities of Camaragibe, Recife, Paulista, and Olinda, serving a population of 2,288,834 inhabitants. The parameters Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Total Phosphorus (P), Ammonia (NH3), and Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) were analyzed over the course of one year, aiming to understand the trends and impacts of human activities on the river's waters. The results indicate spatial and temporal variation in water quality, with different behaviors of the parameters along the river. There was an observed trend of increasing DO at all monitored points, while for BOD, NH3, and P, some stations showed an increasing trend, while others did not exhibit clear trends. Land use and land cover analysis indicated a reduction in agricultural areas and an increase in urban areas over the years. Points at the headwaters of the Beberibe River showed less alteration in water quality, while points closer to the mouth were more impacted, possibly due to higher population density and inadequate sanitation infrastructure in the area. The results highlight the importance of effective actions for the preservation and improvement of water quality in this scenario of increasing urbanization and human pressures. The conclusions of this study can guide management strategies and decision-making processes focused on the sustainability of water resources in the region.
