Group is caught enjoying the hot weather in Córrego Prosa, including diving and snacks; see video

In one of the videos g1 had access to, two women appear inside the stream, eating snacks and accompanied by a boy. They are next to one of the manilas through which rainwater drains from neighborhoods in the region. Another six people also enjoy leisure time in the watercourse.

Another record, taken from a higher point, shows bathers jumping into the stream, apparently without worrying about the source of the water. Córrego Prosa receives the volume of rainwater that drains from nearby neighborhoods, but the presence of clandestine sewage connections and irregular waste disposal can also compromise water quality.

Campo Grande City Hall does not recommend that residents bathe in any of the capital's streams. According to the municipality, the practice poses risks of contamination and disease, mainly intestinal infections and skin problems.

The municipality monitors urban streams through the Córrego Limpo program. The work focuses on points subject to direct or indirect pollution, properties that are not connected to the public sewage network, possible discharges of waste into rainwater galleries and places where septic tanks are being deactivated.

In Campo Grande, 83 points distributed across nine micro-basins are monitored. In 2024, the program recorded the highest percentage of quality indexes classified as good (81%) compared to previous years. The poor quality index was the lowest in the series, at 2%.
