This research evaluates, in environmental terms, the springs, excavated wells and the deep tubular wells used for a source of access to drinking water in the São Matheus River hydrographic basin, in the city of Terra Boa – PR. Laboratory analyzes were performed for microbiological (Escherichia coli and total coliforms) and physicochemical (Iron, Zinc, Manganese elements and turbidity of water) parameters of the collected samples. After laboratory processing and statistical examination of the data, the following results were reached: 1) Most samples collected in springs showed high levels of contamination by E. coli (75%) and total coliforms (75%); 2) excavated wells were contaminated in 80% of the cases analyzed; 3) Iron values above those indicated by Ministry of Health Port. 05/2017 were observed, especially in samples collected in deep tubular wells; 4) The values of the Fe and Zn analysis allowed to observe a clear distinction between the different types of sources.
