Water as drinking water is the essential and important element for health. For this reason, it is essential to evaluate its quality through physical-chemical analysis, especially in rural areas where this process is more difficult to perform. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the physical and chemical parameters of drinking water in the village of Matinha, rural area of the municipality of Vitoria da Conquista, and to compare them with the parameters established by the Consolidation Ordinance nº 5/2017. Three water collection points were evaluated (P1 = source 1, P2 = source 2 and P3 = community reservoir). The physical-chemical parameters evaluated were: Hydrogenionic potential, electrical conductivity, total solids dissolved, turbidity, alkalinity, edurity. The materials used were conductivity meter, conductivity meter with STD meter, pH meter, turbidimeter and glassware to analyze electrical conductivity and electrical resistivity, total dissolved solids, pH and temperature, turbidity and total hardness, respectively. The method used was based on the Manual of Procedure for Sampling and Physical-Chemical Analysis of Water of 2011. After analysis, the results presented acidic pH for the springs and neutral for the reservoir (P1 = 5.54, P2 = 5.66 (P1 = 108.7 μS / cm, P2 = 112.0 μS / cm and P3 = 151.3 μS / cm), the STD and the P3 = 6.20), the electrical conductivity presented above that preconized by the (P1 = 26mg / L, P2 = 23mg / L and P3 = 39mg / L), respectively (P1 = 55mg / L, P2 = 55.5mg / L and P3 = 77mg / L) . The turbidity was of P1 = 5.94 uT, P2 = 1.93 uT and P3 = 2.79 uT, and the hardness presented hard water to the spring and moderate hard to the reservoir (P1 = 220 mg / L, P2 = 148mg / L and P3 = 52mg / L). However, the water consumed through the spring and the community reservoir is suitable for human consumption in relation to the parameters evaluated.
