Since 2013, there has been an increase (>23%) in naval traffic using maritime routes and ports on the coastal fringe of Santa Marta, Colombia. Of major concern, and described by several studies, is the relationship between maritime traffic and coastal contamination. This study proposed a maritime traffic indicator considering the simultaneous effects of several relevant measurements of water quality parameters to estimate the impact of naval activity. The approach involved developing a model including the number of vessels, hull length, and permanence time in berths. In addition, water quality variables, considering climatic seasons, were used to verify association with maritime traffic and touristic activities. The high concentrations of total coliforms (TC) and dissolved/dispersed petroleum hydrocarbons in chrysene equivalents (DDPH) reported by the International Marina of Santa Marta (SM) were affected by the local anthropic activities, including tourism, naval traffic, and urban wastewater discharges. Moreover, our results suggest the occurrence of multiple chemical impacts within Tayrona National Natural Park (PNNT) affecting conservation goals. The estimation of the maritime traffic indicator proposed in this study may be an easy and more complete tool for future studies evaluating the impact of naval activities on environmental quality.

Abstract. The sensitivity to changes in water quality inherent to seagrass communities makes them vital for determining the overall health of the coastal ecosystem. Numerous efforts including community-based coastal resource management, conservation and rehabilitation plans are currently undertaken to protect these marine species. In this study, the relationship of water quality parameters, specifically chlorophyll-a (chl-a) and turbidity, with seagrass percent cover is assessed quantitatively. Support Vector Machine, a pixel-based image classification method, is applied to determine seagrass and non-seagrass areas from the orthomosaic which yielded a 91.0369% accuracy. In-situ measurements of chl-a and turbidity are acquired using an infinity-CLW water quality sensor. Geostatistical techniques are utilized in this study to determine accurate surfaces for chl-a and turbidity. In two hundred interpolation tests for both chl-a and turbidity, Simple Kriging (Gaussian-model type and Smooth- neighborhood type) performs best with Mean Prediction equal to −0.1371 FTU and 0.0061 μg/L, Root Mean Square Standardized error equal to −0.0688 FTU and −0.0048 μg/L, RMS error of 8.7699 FTU and 1.8006 μg/L and Average Standard Error equal to 10.8360 FTU and 1.6726 μg/L. Zones are determined using fishnet tool and Moran’s I to calculate for the seagrass percent cover. Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) is used as a regression analysis to quantify the relationship of seagrass percent cover and water quality parameters. The regression analysis result indicates that turbidity has an inverse relationship while chlorophyll-a has a direct relationship with seagrass percent cover.

Taking a roof in Shanghai for example, through the comparison of the relationship of rainfall and SS load in a single rainfall runoff obtained by experiment and SWMM simulation, typical water SWMM model parameters (maximum buildup possible C1, buildup rate constant C2, washoff coefficient S1 and washoff exponent S2) could be obtained. With this method, other cities’ water quality parameters for SWMM simulation could be confirmed, so as to provide basis for simulating water quality by SWMM.

Water quality parameters play an important role in intensive pond ecosystems. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between of water quality parameters in intensive shrimp farming of L. vannamei. This research was carried out for 95 days of intensive shrimp farming in PT. Menjangan Mas Nusantara Company, Banten, with the physical, chemical, and microbiological parameters of water as the main reference object of observation. The results showed that during the shrimp culture period the pond water quality parameter concentration was considered to be quite optimal with a stable fluctuation trend, except for the salinity and TOM parameters whose values ​​were above the water quality standard. Correlation test results state that between the physical chemical parameters have a strong and heterogeneous relationship, with the strongest parameters of pH, phosphate, nitrite, and TOM. As for the microbiological variables, the correlation of physical chemistry parameters of water is considered to be very weak, because from the correlation test results, only DO parameters showed the correlation with microbiological parameters. The conclusion of this study, that during intensive shrimp culture period, the physical and chemical parameters of water have a strong correlation of association between one another and the highest are pH, phosphate, nitrite, and TOM, but only dissolved oxygen parameters that show the relationship correlation with microbiological parameters.

The Relationship

In this study, we use canonical correlation analysis to interpret the relationship between water quality parameters (T, Alk, Cl, EC, TN, TP, UV-254, pH, HPC, DO) and primary productivity parameters (algae and chlorophyll-a). In these two sets of constructed canonical variables, the water quality parameters can account for 39.25% of the total variance of primary productivity. The majority of the explanatory power is from the first set of canonical variables, which has a correlation coefficient of 0.84. The main factors that control chlorophyll-a are HPC, Alk, T, TN, and pH.

Because of increasing demanding for development of direct ecological landfill monitoring methods, there is a requirement for the condition of landfills and their influence on the environment to be characterized by the behavior of enzymes and bacteria mainly concerned with biochemical reaction in the landfills. This study was thus conducted to understand the fates of contaminants in association with groundwater quality parameters. For the study, groundwater was seasonally sampled from four closed unsanitary landfills in which microbial diversity was simultaneously obtained by 16S rDNA methods. Subsequently, a number of the specific genes of representative bacteria and encoding enzymes were quantified by real-time PCR. The relationship between water quality parameters and gene quantification were compared based on correlation factors. Correlation between DSR gene and BOD was greater than 0.8 while NSR gene and nitrate were related more than 0.9. For MTOT, it was at the highest related at 100% over BOD/COD and Dde genes were correlated over 0.8. In addition, anaerobic genes and DO were also related more than 0.8, showing anaerobic reactions generally dependent upon DO. As demonstrated in the study, molecular biological investigation and water quality parameters are highly co-linked, so that quantitative real-time PCR could be cooperatively used for assessing landfill stabilization in association with the conventional monitoring parameters.

The Relationship

Cyanobacterial blooms in source waters are of concern as they can produce some compounds that are aesthetically unpleasant in potable water. Musty–earthy taste and odour compounds 2-methylisoborneol (MIB) and geosmin are produced by some species of cyanobacteria and actinomycetes. These compounds are low molecular weight volatile tertiary alcohols whose presence in treated water even at low ng L‒1 levels can result in consumer complaints. Adsorption onto powdered activated carbon (PAC) is often used to remove these compounds during the treatment process. PAC is very efficient at removing these compounds but the presence of natural organic matter (NOM) reduces the efficiency of the PAC. For effective application of PAC the impact of NOM must be taken into account when determining the required dose. In this study the adsorption of MIB and geosmin from several waters was related to water quality parameters of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), UV absorbance at 254 nm and colour to determine if these could be used to predict adsorption. Results obtained showed that the water quality parameters of DOC and UV absorbance at 254 nm could be useful indicators for MIB and geosmin adsorption, although the relationship appears to be specific to the water source in question.
