Determinación del índice de calidad ambiental del estero salado entre el tramo del Puente del Velero hasta el muelle de la Escuela de Canotaje.

Abstract

The water quality of the Estero Salado was evaluated between the section Puente del Velero y la escuela de canotaje through the Water Quality Index (NSF), the analyzes collected for this research were performed in the water quality laboratory of the UCSG. Physical-chemical and bacteriological variables were determined. By means of the NSF method it was allowed to know the state of the water quality of the Salt Estero to then be able to weigh the ICA that was between the range of 43.95 and 52.58, therefore the water quality is from Medium to Bad. And for TULSMA environmental regulations, dissolved oxygen does not meet the range greater than 80% for recreational purposes by secondary contact since the average dissolved oxygen is 69.84%. Based on these data, it should be considered to continue promoting the recovery campaigns of the Estero Salado and continue with the annual Monitoring of Estero to see how the physical-chemical parameters have varied.
