| Summary: | Objectives: Identify the impacts that generate the anthropogenic activities in the water quality of Cunas river, in Chupaca and Concepción provinces during 2012. Methods: The observational, descriptive and explanation methods were used, the research type is basic and the design is non experimental, longitudinal type. It was defined three sampling sites. Station 1 was located in Angasmayo, the station 2 in Antacusi and the station 3 in La Perla, Chupaca. Water samples were collected in plastic bottles of two liters and in sterile glass flasks to determine the concentration of nitrates and phosphates, and thermo-tolerant coliform bacteria, respectively. Parameters measured in situ were: dissolved oxygen (mg/l), total dissolved solids (mg/l), conductivity (mS/cm), temperature (°C), pH and turbidity (FTU). These mensurations were carried out with portable instruments. The identification and qualitative valuation of impacts were carried out previous identification of the actions of the anthropogenic activities that are developed in the Cunas river. Results: Results of the water quality were: station 1 (Angasmayo), medium quality (65,83); station 2 (Antacusi), medium quality (61,08) and station 3 (La Perla), medium quality (57,18). Conclusions: In the station 1 the impact was lightly moderate, in the station 2 was moderate and in the station 3 was severe. |
