Caracterización físico-química y bacteriológica, en dos épocas del año, de la subcuenca del río Quiscab, Guatemala
Main Article Content
Abstract
La relevancia económica, social y ecológica de la cuenca del lago Atitlán, el cuerpo de agua más importante de Guatemala, motivó proponer un estudio de la subcuenca del río Quiscab, considerada como su mayor tributaria, que inició por la caracterización físico-química y bacteriológica de las aguas en dos épocas del año. Para ello fueron tomadas muestras de agua en diferentes puntos de la subcuenca, previamente seleccionados a partir de la existencia de fuentes contaminantes de diversos orígenes, a las que se les realizaron los análisis correspondientes, cuyos resultados se compararon con los establecidos por las normas guatemaltecas para estimar la calidad del agua superficial. La caracterización físico-química y bacteriológica de la subcuenca, en las épocas de lluvia y seca, permitió determinar el posible uso del agua en los dos momentos evaluados
