abstract = "Due to a high population growth that has been occurring in Palmas
and due to land use changes that are caused by this population
growth and development, the goal of this paper was to study the
behavior of four physical parameters of water quality of the
{\'A}gua Fria watershed. The parameters were turbidity, total
suspended solids, settleable solids and total dissolved solids.
Eight gauging stations were established and the water samples were
monthly collected from February/1998 to February/1999. The water
bodies of the watershed were generally in good condition
concerning these four parameters. However, there were some cases
of seasonal irregularity of some parameters, as well as no
correlation among some of studied parameters. This might be an
indicator of some impacts like accelerated erosion due to a misuse
of the lands and misuse of local water resources.",
