ABSTRACT
Contamination of water bodies, associated with urbanization, agricultural, and industrial activities, is a serious environmental challenge, with particular concern about microbial pollution due to its public health implications. This study is aimed at evaluating the spatial and temporal variations in the microbiological and physicochemical quality of a floodplain lake used for recreational purposes, whose watershed has been disturbed by diverse anthropogenic activities. The results showed that, while the spatial variation of water quality principally depends on the basin characteristics, temporal variation of water quality depends on land uses, hydrological conditions, and climatic conditions. Rainfall and rising water level intensified the influence of land use on the water quality by increasing concentrations of Escherichia coli, thermotolerant coliforms, and organic matter and decreasing dissolved oxygen. Thus, the residents and tourists are potentially exposed to microbiological risks given that it exceeds the international standards suggested for recreational waters on some occasions. It would be advisable to improve routine bathing water monitoring and management to preserve the health of the inhabitants and limit the recreational use of the water body in the days following heavy rainfall as well as during the beginning of the increase in the hydrometric level.

As desordens psicológicas têm se ampliado neste século e acometem pessoas de diferentes idades e perfis socioeconômicos. Diante desse cenário, o presente trabalho busca debater e demonstrar como o lazer e a arteterapia podem ser alternativas para o tratamento de pessoas com depressão, além de auxiliares no controle do avanço dessa doença, por meio da conexão entre lazer, arte e saúde. Utilizou-se como metodologia as pesquisas bibliográfica e de campo com enfoque qualitativo, cujos dados evidenciaram a carência de trabalhos com o mesmo enfoque e apresentaram um panorama de como psicólogos e arteterapeutas de Belém-PA têm (ou não) utilizado o lazer e a arteterapia como auxiliares ao bem-estar do indivíduo e na prevenção de doenças.
Psychological disorders have expanded in this century and affect people of different ages and socioeconomic conditions. Given this scenario, the present study seeks to discuss and demonstrate how leisure and art therapy can be alternatives for the treatment of people with depression, in addition to helping to control the progress of this disease through the connection between leisure, art, and health. The methods used were bibliographic and field research with a qualitative approach, whose data showed the lack of similar works and showed an overview of how psychologists and art therapists in Belém-PA have (or not) used leisure and art therapy as aids to people's well-being and disease prevention.
