Insights from Water Quality of High Andean Springs for Human Consumption in Perú
(Revista MDPI, 2021)
The headwaters of the high Andean basin in Peru accumulate water from the mist, rain,
snow, and hail, and it is transported superficially and underground to low-lying areas, mostly used
for drinkable purposes. The natural ...
Water quality index in the high-andean micro-basin of the Chumbao river, Andahuaylas, Apurímac, Perú
(Revista Tecnología y ciencias del agua, 2021)
The water quality index (WQI) of a water body, indicates the degree of
contamination for a given use, and it is related to the anthropic activities
that they provoke around. The objective was to determine the WQI, in
the ...
Study of the pollution by surfactants in a river of a high Andean micro basin
(Revista DYNA, 2020)
The surfactants linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS), is used in large quantities in modern society, and wastewater containing it can
contaminate groundwaters through runoff and sewers. The study aimed to determine the ...
