Water Quality Day

Near the body of water, there is a wastewater treatment plant operated by the AAA, whose outfall pipe to the sea is visible and accessible (when it shouldn't be). At times over the years, it has been flagged for discharges with a questionable odor or appearance.

Our body of water remains polluted, although we are beginning to see more water flow and more fish.

Arrival from where the traditional Crossing of the Bay of San Juan is celebrated to Cataño, in the month of July.

The water is green, with suspended solids, and water is flowing from nearby houses. Turtles are observed at the sampling point. Coqui frogs and white-lipped frogs are heard.
The results for OD and Turbidity appear to be much lower; the scale used does not cover those observed ranges.

The observed dissolved oxygen (DO) ranged from 0 to 4. The color scale did not exhibit this gradient. Similarly, the color intensity for the sample, in relation to nitrate content, far exceeded the 5 ppm gradient.

The observed dissolved oxygen (DO) ranged from 0 to 4. The color scale did not exhibit this gradient. Similarly, the color intensity for the sample, in relation to nitrate content, far exceeded the 5 ppm gradient.

The result for nitrate is found in a value between 5 to 20 ppm; the scale provided does not offer an intermediate color gradient.

Dissolved oxygen (DO) should be between 0 and 4 ppm. The pH was between 7 and 8. The phosphate result exceeds 4 ppm. Limitations in the scale gradients.

Abundant presence of algae, of a very bright green color, on the rocky area of ​​the beach bathed by the waves.

murky water as it rained heavily the day before.

We conducted two monitoring kit tests that included nitrate, phosphate, dissolved oxygen (DO), and turbidity tests. Both tests yielded very similar results. In addition, we performed a bacteriological test, strictly following the instructions provided in the "Water Quality Day Training" workshop. We will maintain the (Pereira et al., 2024).

Excellent learning opportunity and way to create responsibility for the care and conditions of our bodies of water.

It has rained quite a bit in Villalba in the past few days. The rain hasn't been heavy every day, but it has been constant at times.
