                         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.",
