Projeto: O impacto da crise hídrica na dinâmica de Hg em reservatórios de hidrelétricas do estado do RJ
Coordenação: Prof. Inácio Abreu Pestana
Fomento: FAPERJ - Jovem Pesquisador Fluminense (Processo E-26/210.350/2022)

O represamento de rios para construção de reservatórios de hidrelétricas altera o funcionamento de ecossistemas aquáticos, o que pode favorecer a circulação de mercúrio (Hg) dentro e a jusante das barragens. O estado do RJ possui um histórico de contaminação por Hg em seus ecossistemas devido a mineração. Estudos sobre a dinâmica do Hg dentro e a jusante dos reservatórios são necessários visto que hidrelétricas possuem estudos ainda incipientes, tendo em vista o potencial impacto que essas construções tem na ciclagem do elemento e os planos de expansão da construção de hidrelétricas no estado do RJ e no país. O estado do RJ atualmente possui 42 hidrelétricas em funcionamento e 3 em construção, sendo Lajes e Funil as duas maiores. A crise hídrica recente que assola o Sudeste Brasileiro como um todo tem afetado o volume útil de reservatórios de hidrelétricas. Quando a coluna d?água de um reservatório está baixa, a circulação e o transporte de Hg a jusante são intensificados. Portanto, o objetivo desse projeto é avaliar como a crise hídrica e a sazonalidade podem impactar a ciclagem de Hg e sua exportação a jusante da barragem em diversos compartimentos ambientais (e.g.: macrófitas aquáticas, coluna d?água e sedimento) de dois reservatórios de hidrelétrica do estado do Rio de Janeiro (Lajes e Funil) com características hidrodinâmicas contrastantes. Visto que o reservatório da hidrelétrica de Lajes possui um volume útil e tempo de residência da água aproximadamente 2 vezes e 10 vezes maior quando comparado ao de Funil, respectivamente, é possível inferir os efeitos de uma crise hídrica ao comparar a dinâmica de Hg e suas respectivas fontes entre eles. Amostragens serão realizadas na estação chuvosa, quando os reservatórios estão termicamente estratificados, e na seca durante dois anos consecutivos. Serão amostrados sedimento, água e macrófitas aquáticas dentro e a jusante dos reservatórios. Serão realizadas as determinações de Hg e assinatura elementar e isotópica de C e N nas amostras. Os resultados desse projeto possuem elevado potencial de produzir planos de manejo para reservatórios de hidrelétricas.
