The water quality of the “La Brava” creek, in Ocaña Norte de Santander, was analyzed using physicochemical and biological parameters to determine quality indices. Three sampling sections were established throughout the study area, taking samples in duplicate every four months for each point during a year; characterization of each sample was done following the protocols of standard methods. The information obtained was analyzed through water quality and contamination indices, determining that the water quality of the micro-basin is moderate, and its level of contamination is low; remaining in good homogeneous condition along the entire area. The utilization of a systems of indices allows for a good approach to assess the conditions of the basin, establishing that, currently, anthropic activities have minimal effect on the water resource in the study area. It is important to highlight that, although the level of contamination is low, it is necessary to generate strategies that guarantee the continuous quality and water supply in the area.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
