Reservoirs are estimators for environmental balance. The isotherm maps help to visualize changes in water quality in reservoirs and are useful tools for monitoring physicochemical parameters. The objective of this work was to evaluate the use of geostatistical maps as a water quality management tool used in the seasonal and temporal evaluation of parameters: chloride, electrical conductivity, temperature, and total dissolved solids in the area of the Tucuruí hydroelectric power plant. The data were evaluated against descriptive statistics, the test, and the guarantee. The isotherm maps were developed using the Surfer 13 software to interpolate the spatial distribution of the data. Seasonality influenced all parameters studied, proving to be an important factor in changing water quality. The research also showed that the water quality of the Tocantins River is influenced by agriculture, the main human activity in the study area. The geostatistical maps are important water quality management tools and can be used in large areas such as hydroelectric reservoirs in the Amazon.
