Waters quality of the in the swamp ecosystem to the South of the province Mayabeque

Abstract

The National Politics of the Water settles down as first priority: "The risk management associated to water quality ", of the physical, chemical and biological characteristics present in rivers, lakes, springs or aquifer. This it is expressed in connection with water use identified with its natural state where the loss of quality would come measured by the distance to this state and it can obstruct to be adapted for a certain use. The Synergy in the Project 2: “Strengthening of capacities for coordination of the information and monitoring systems / I Sustainable Management of Lands in Areas with Water Re-sources Problems” with intervention area in the South Plain Havana-Matanzas and the “Project Live Swamp” that is implemented in the coastal area whose objective is the recovery of the swamp eco-system. In this work water quality of the is evaluated in the south of the province Mayabeque, where the volume of surface waters (in the humid period 9,29 million m3 and 2,56 million m3 in the dry pe-riod) maintains a flow of fresh water toward the coast and therefore it contributes to diminish the salinity in the area, being this beneficial for the swamp ecosystem, since the total soluble salts are under 10g/L. Nevertheless, although they classify like little salinized waters, its use is restricted for the agricultural irrigation.
