Description
Summary:In the municipality of Ayapel, department of Cordoba, four field samplings were carried out in order to obtain representative information hour variations of the municipality wastewaters, as also of the water quality in the zone of influence of these waters in the wetland Ciénaga de Ayapel. In the sector where almost all sewage waters are spilled the main physical, chemical and microbiological variables of the domestic wastewater and of the wetland Ciénaga de Ayapel were determined. This was carried out in order to determine the possible impact of domestic wastewaters on the water quality of a sector of the wetland Ciénaga de Ayapel. Results of the study allow to affirm that an impact of wastewaters on the wetland complex exists, nevertheless these waters affect mainly the environmental quality of the sites located near the municipality of Ayapel urban zone, mainly at the lowwater level seasons including the limnetic zone of the E0 sector.
