Caracterización preliminar de la calidad del agua del Reservorio del Centro Experimental Académico Salache

Kalina Fonseca, Martina Clairand

Resumen


El uso de aguas de riego con altos niveles de contaminantes es una práctica común entre agricultores de países no tecnificados causando impactos nocivos en los cultivos y suelos. La presente investigación caracterizó la calidad del agua del reservorio del Centro Experimental Académico Salache (CEASA), que actualmente es utilizada con fines agrícolas. Para dicho fin, se muestreó y analizó pH, temperatura, conductividad eléctrica (CE), turbidez, oxígeno disuelto (OD), nitritos, hierro y bacterias por medición multiparamétrica, espectrofotometría y análisis microbiológico, respectivamente. Se estudió variables ambientales, en particular la dureza, que fue calculada a partir de la conductividad en base al método desarrollado por Krawczykl y Ford. Los valores recolectados fueron comparados con los límites máximos permisibles (LMP) establecidos en legislación ambiental ecuatoriana. Los resultados obtenidos permitieron determinar la calidad del agua y establecer la disponibilidad para los cultivos, considerando los efectos adversos que implica el riego con agua contaminada.
