Water is an essential component of the environment and part of life, one of the most important natural resources. Your monitoring by physical-chemical analysis provides grant ace environmental protection policies and decision-making regarding environmental management actions. Thus, due to the paucity of data related to continuous monitoring water quality in the lower São Francisco this work aimed to evaluate the water quality and social aspects related to the use of water resources in the basin of the São Francisco river and its tributaries Jacaré rivers and Betume and promote environmental education through awareness activities and awareness of the environmental problems experienced in this region. For physical-chemical analysis of water we used a Ecokit measuring water quality which evaluates the concentrations of the variables measured by the Colorimetric method. Limnological parameters analyzed in this study were pH, dissolved oxygen, nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, phosphate and turbidity. To analyze the perception was applied one after interview questionnaire composed of 16 questions of which eight were open six closed and two semi-open. What outreach activities were offered lectures and training with Ecokit. The results of water quality indicate that a significant amount of the parameters analyzed in the rivers was outside the limit set by CONAMA resolution 357/2005 interfering with the quality of its waters. For this study, most of the points analyzed are located close to areas of sewage releases, in view of this, it is observed that the external environment is contributing to the reduction of water quality of these water bodies. For environmental awareness, the results indicate that the individuals interviewed have full awareness that comes from being and environmental problems which are faced by the São Francisco river and the need to implement a continuous monitoring of the water quality of the river. It was noted that awareness activities further contributed to the understanding of the relationship of these respondents with water.
