| contents | WATER QUALITY INDEX AS AN TOOL FOR RIVER ASSESSMENT IN AGRICULTURAL AREAS IN THE PAMPEAN PLAINS OF ARGENTINA Carlos Moscuzza Alejandra V. Volpedo Carlos Ojeda Alicia Fernández Cirelli Ingeniería effluent nutrients Salado River agroindustry organic matter The contributions of nutrients and xenobiotics by anthropogenic activities developed in riverside deteriorate water quality. In this context, the impact of different agroindustry effluents on the water quality of Salado River in Buenos Aires Province (Argentina) was analyzed applying water quality indexes (WQI). Water quality index is an efficient a simple monitoring tool to instrument corrective and remediation policies. Winter and summer samplings were performed. A minimal water quality index (WQImin) was calculated using only two parameters which can be easy determined in situ. The use of WQImin may be a useful methodology for river management. Meat industry appears as the most pollutant source. Since it is considered as point pollution source, effluents should be treated previous to its disposal with the available technologies. 2007 artículo científico 1982-3932 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=283221762003 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2832 Journal of Urban and Environmental Engineering application/pdf Universidade Federal da Paraíba Journal of Urban and Environmental Engineering (Brasil) Num.1 Vol.1 |
