Plan de caracterización fisicoquímica del Río San Francisco desde su nacimiento en el Páramo Cruz Verde hasta el final de su canalización superficial en el eje ambiental en la calle 13 con carrera décima en Bogotá, Colombia

Abstract

The plan physicochemical characterization of the San Francisco River was conducted in order to assess the state of water quality and quantify certain physicochemical parameters such as oils and fats, total hardness, chemical oxygen demand, pH, electrical conductivity, temperature and environment water, total dissolved solids, settleable solids, dissolved oxygen and turbidity as environmental indicators. The development work was carried out in two stages, the first stage was carried out in this field and consisted of measuring the “in situ” parameters and sample collection. The second step was the laboratory analysis of the samples collected. Some of the analytical techniques used in the research were gravimetric, volumetric and titrimetry. As a result practices that have adversely affected the river San Francisco as the illegal collection of water by people surrounding the river basin and solid waste like bottles, clothes and wrappings were found in the hydraulic round body of water it is evident. A physicochemical river level reflected a fluctuating behavior, but rarely values of the parameters analyzed exceeded the limits set by the regulations and / or bibliographic references. Finally, the river is right conditions to maintain the natural life of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems and their associated ecosystems, without causing significant changes in them, and can harmonize and beautify the landscape.
