ASSESSMENT OF ECOLOGICAL CONDITION OF THE ZAHUAPAN RIVEREVALUACIÓN DE LA CONDICIÓN ECOLÓGICA DEL RÍO ZAHUAPANMena Mejía, IrmaBustamante González, ÁngelVargas López, SamuelOlvera Hernández, José IsabelMéndez Espinoza, José Arturobioindicatorspollutionmacroinvertebratesmetricsbioindicadorescontaminaciónmacroinvertebradosíndice bióticoThis research aimed to assess the Zahuapan river health through a holistic and watershed approach. The Rapid Bioassessment Protocols for Use in Streams and Wadeable Rivers, of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), was used as a support procedure to develop an integrated assessment, considering biotic, habitat and water quality partial assessments. In order to assess the river condition, two reference sites, located in a forest land, and nine perturbed sites, representatives of agricultural, urban and industrial lands, were selected in a geographical information system, with the support of field trips. The river biotic condition was based on families of benthic macro-invertebrates, the river habitat condition was assessed by using the habitat parameters established by the EPA, and the river water quality condition by developing an index from the nine measured physical and chemical parameters. The current river health was considered as the mode of the category of the partial assessments. While the river health of the reference sites was optimum, it was poor for all the perturbed sites, the worst condition in the index scale.Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo la evaluación integral de la condición ecológica del río Zahuapan con un enfoque de cuencas. Se tomó como base el protocolo de evaluación biótica en ecosistemas acuáticos, propuesto por la Agencia de Protección Ambiental de los Estados Unidos (EPA), el cual considera tres evaluaciones parciales: condición biótica, condición de hábitat y condición de calidad de agua. Para evaluar la condición del río, se ubicaron dos sitios de referencia en una zona de uso forestal y en nueve sitios perturbados, representativos de zonas de uso agrícola, urbano e industrial, a través de un sistema de información geográfica y recorridos de campo. La condición biótica se evaluó por medio de los macroinvertebrados presentes, identificados a nivel de familia. La condición de hábitat se evaluó considerando los parámetros establecidos por la EPA para ecosistemas acuáticos. La condición de calidad del agua se evaluó con un índice desarrollado a partir de mediciones de nueve parámetros físicos y químicos. La moda de la categoría de condición de las evaluaciones parciales fue considerada como la condición actual del río. Mientras que los sitios de referencia del río se ubicaron en una condición óptima, la condición del río en todos los sitios perturbados fue pobre, la peor condición en la escala de las evaluaciones.Instituto de Ciencias de la Atmósfera, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México2017-01-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionARTapplication/pdfhttps://www.revistascca.unam.mx/rica/index.php/rica/article/view/RICA.2017.33.01.0110.20937/RICA.2017.33.01.01Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambiental; Vol. 33 Núm. 1 (2017); 7-19Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambiental; Vol. 33 No. 1 (2017); 7-190188-4999reponame:Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambientalinstname:UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL AUTÓNOMA DE MÉXICOinstacron:UNAMspahttps://www.revistascca.unam.mx/rica/index.php/rica/article/view/RICA.2017.33.01.01/46616Derechos de autor 2017 Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambientalinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/483682024-08-16T19:00:35Z |
