Abstract
Las playas son un hábitat donde conviven diversas especies de flora y fauna, las cuales, muchas veces son inestables por efecto del clima, de la contaminación, por el gran flujo de bañistas y embarcaciones. Debido a lo anterior, se realizan constantes monitoreos de diversos parámetros de calidad para tener una adecuada gestión de estos hábitats. En las playas de Castillogrande y El Laguito, se presentan diferentes problemáticas ambientales cuyo registro es escaso, por lo cual realizamos un seguimiento y estudio de la calidad del agua ya que, en algunos casos, esto podría representar un riesgo para la salud de las personas y los demás seres vivos. Por medio del cálculo del índice de calidad ambiental (ICAMpff) se realizó un diagnóstico de la calidad del agua de las playas de Castillogrande y El Laguito en el período de temporada de lluvias del 2019 (agosto a noviembre del 2019). De este diagnóstico se determinó que las playas cumplen con los criterios de calidad fisicoquímica, también se halló que la playa El Laguito presento condiciones ambientales inadecuadas en el mes de noviembre. Los resultados de este estudio contribuyen a identificar oportunidades de mejora a partir del seguimiento de los parámetros fisicoquímicos In situ (temperatura, oxígeno disuelto y dióxido de carbono) y Ex situ (alcalinidad, acidez, salinidad, turbidez, nitrito, nitrato, fosfato y amoniaco) y aportar recomendaciones que ayuden a mejorar la gestión integral de estas playas.
The beaches are a habitat where various species of flora and fauna coexist, but they are often unstable due to the weather, pollution, and the large flow of bathers and boats. Due to all those negative aspects, constant monitoring of various quality parameters is carried out to have an adequate management of these habitats. On the beaches of Castillogrande and El Laguito, there are different environmental problems which records are scarce, and for which we carry a study of the water quality since, in some cases, this could represent a risk to people's health and the other living beings. Through the calculation of the environmental quality index (ICAMpff), a diagnosis of the water quality of the Castillogrande and Laguito beaches was made in the rainy season period of 2019 (August to November 2019). From this diagnosis, it was determined that the beaches meet the physicochemical quality criteria, it was also found that the El Laguito beach presented inappropriate environmental conditions in the month of November. The results of this study contribute to identifying opportunities for improvement from the monitoring of the physicochemical parameters In-situ (temperature, dissolved oxygen and carbon dioxide) and Ex-situ (alkalinity, acidity, salinity, turbidity, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate and ammonia) and provide recommendations to help improve the comprehensive management of these beaches.
