The LabÁgua, a reference laboratory in Amazonian water research, will lead the work on this project. This lab is known for its expertise in researching Amazonian waters.

The CDP's director-president, Jardel Silva, sees this contract as strategic for the company, ensuring the continuous production of environmental data that will allow for precise monitoring of the water dynamics in their operational areas.

The partnership also offers an opportunity for Uepa students to gain valuable experience in addressing real-world challenges in the Amazon region. Hebe Ribeiro, the LabÁgua's coordinator, highlights the multidisciplinary nature of the work, involving areas such as chemistry, physical chemistry, geochemistry, microbiology, and metagenomics.

Samir Bestene, the CDP's manager of Port-City and Environment Relations, views this initiative as a vision for the future, focusing on strengthening institutions, generating environmental intelligence, and contributing to the preservation of the Amazon and sustainable development in the Pará state.
