ResumoThis study aimed to carry out participatory survey on sanitation in homes of the rural community of the Lower Rio Araguari, in the municipality of Ferreira Gomes. The collection of field data occurred in the period of July and August 2014 and consisted of interviews with closed questions, based on questionnaire adapted from LENE / MSD - Sanitary Improvement Needs Survey Household, the National Health Foundation - FUNASA, record images and the location of the properties of the respondents (GPS). The study found that the health debt in the rural community is huge and needs a proper environmental solution, since there is no piped and treated water distribution network, there is no collection and treatment of sewage, no rainwater drainage nor solid waste collection. The source of water is made by use of streams and rivers (60.5%), followed by own wells (37.2%) and alternative sources (2.3%). The allocation of sewage is performed by black tanks (70.9%), septic tank (23.3%) and 5.8% for alternative sources. Household sanitation, 33.7% have water tank, 70.93% sink (loft), 15.1% tank washing, 29% kitchen sink, 5.8% use domestic filter, 65.12% Private rudimentary, 34.8% bathroom (with toilet and with or without shower and / or sink (sink for personal hygiene) and no use septic tank. This shows that families of this rural community are directly polluting the soil, the water table and water bodies, in particular the Araguari River in its lower portion. Keywords: basic sanitation; environmental unhealthiness; lower Araguari River.
