AB  - Methodology using solid phase extraction and high performance liquid 
      chromatography (SPE-C18/HPLC-DAD) was applied to pesticide determinations in ten 
      water reservoirs in the semidarid region of northeastern Brazil. The validated 
      method was suitable for determination of herbicides and insecticide in surface 
      water. The recovery efficiency of atrazine, methyl-parathion and simazine was 
      approximately 70%. The method also showed good linearity and selectivity with 
      correlation coefficients (R) greater than 0.99. The limits of detection were 
      below the maximum residue limits (MRLs) established by government agencies. 
      Studied reservoirs showed presence of atrazine at mean levels from 7.0 to 15.0 
      microg/L. Simazine and methyl parathion were not detected during the period. The 
      atrazine levels measured from this semiarid region are of the same magnitude as 
      those found in regions with moderate to high agricultural activity. According to 
      detected atrazine concentrations, the annual health risk to humans was 
      insignificant. However, the control of herbicides is important to maintain the 
      quality of water in the reservoirs of Ceara, Brazil.
