Caracterización microscópica, microbiológica y fisicoquímica de 5 tipos de aguas representativas para estructurar a corto plazo una base de datos

Abstract

In this work, a series of microscopic images are made of five different types of water and they are correlated with their physicochemical and microbiological parameters. The types of water were chosen trying that each one of them was as different as possible from the others and that, in addition, they are representative of a particular type of water. The parameters analyzed were: turbidity, conductivity, settleable solids, chlorides, COD, pH and dissolved oxygen. Additionally, the presence of microorganisms is verified by microbiological tests, among them: anaerobes, total coliforms and fecal coliforms. The selected sampling points were distributed as follows: A point on the Fucha River - at the height of the Ciudad Montes neighborhood - as a representative sample of domestic wastewater; a point in the lake of the Parque Ciudad Montes, as a representative sample of an artificial lake; a point in the Santa María Wetland, as a sample of a protected lake, another in the Jaboque wetland, as a sample of a wetland affected by discharges and, finally, a drinking water sample, taken from the tap, in the laboratory, as a sample of Water for consumption. As a result, microscopic images and physicochemical and microbiological data associated with each of the different samples were obtained, in order to consolidate a database that allows identifying and relating macro and microscopic images with the analytical composition of the samples and, from this In this way, generate a potentially useful 'physical metric identification' system for the agile and efficient identification of different types of samples.
