SITUAÇÃO DO SANEAMENTO BÁSICO DOMICILIAR NA ALDEIA ÁGUA BRANCA EM 2025, AQUIDAUANA/MS

Abstract

This study aimed to survey household conditions related to water supply, sanitation, and solid waste disposal in the Aldeia Água Branca, located in Aquidauana, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The methodology consisted of on-site visits to local residences, using standardized questionnaires for data collection. The results showed that, although all households have access to piped water from artesian wells with chlorination treatment, significant challenges regarding basic sanitation persist. A portion of the residences lack bathrooms or toilets, and there is no municipal waste collection service, leading to the burning of household waste as the primary disposal method. The findings highlight the urgent need for public policies that expand sewage systems and solid waste management, as well as environmental education actions aimed at improving the health and quality of life of the Community.
