Affecting someeconomic sectors, such as fisheries and tourism. stebencanciino https://padlet.com/stebencanciino/yx7jsq6dpfpo6fw6/wish/1614620260 2021-06-18 16:24:34 UTC https://padlet.com/stebencanciino/yx7jsq6dpfpo6fw6/wish/1614620260 The objective of this research was to obtain information on the environmental problems present indifferent regions of Colombia from the perception of university students residents in these areas. stebencanciino https://padlet.com/stebencanciino/yx7jsq6dpfpo6fw6/wish/1614620261 2021-06-18 16:24:34 UTC https://padlet.com/stebencanciino/yx7jsq6dpfpo6fw6/wish/1614620261 Analyze the physical, chemical and microbiological characteristics of various rivers in Colombia and determine the water quality index of the rivers studied. stebencanciino https://padlet.com/stebencanciino/yx7jsq6dpfpo6fw6/wish/1614620262 2021-06-18 16:24:34 UTC https://padlet.com/stebencanciino/yx7jsq6dpfpo6fw6/wish/1614620262 Around the year 2014 and 2015. stebencanciino https://padlet.com/stebencanciino/yx7jsq6dpfpo6fw6/wish/1614620263 2021-06-18 16:24:34 UTC https://padlet.com/stebencanciino/yx7jsq6dpfpo6fw6/wish/1614620263 In 2016. stebencanciino https://padlet.com/stebencanciino/yx7jsq6dpfpo6fw6/wish/1614620264 2021-06-18 16:24:34 UTC https://padlet.com/stebencanciino/yx7jsq6dpfpo6fw6/wish/1614620264 According to the surveys, this problem mainly affects surface waters and is generated basically for two reasons. On the one hand, the dumping of residential and industrial wastewater on bodies of water, without any treatment. On the other hand, the presence of solid waste on water, dragging of agrochemicals, leaching processes of solid waste from sanitary landfills and garbage dumps and events of oil spills. stebencanciino https://padlet.com/stebencanciino/yx7jsq6dpfpo6fw6/wish/1614620265 2021-06-18 16:24:34 UTC https://padlet.com/stebencanciino/yx7jsq6dpfpo6fw6/wish/1614620265 High levels of turbidity and total dissolved solids were found suggesting that the water in Colombia’s rivers does not have optimal conditions for the growth and reproduction of various aquatic organisms. In addition, high levels of fecal coliforms were found, associated with the existence of wastewater discharges, indicating that much of the water in Colombia’s rivers are not suitable for human consumption. stebencanciino https://padlet.com/stebencanciino/yx7jsq6dpfpo6fw6/wish/1614620267 2021-06-18 16:24:34 UTC https://padlet.com/stebencanciino/yx7jsq6dpfpo6fw6/wish/1614620267
