Ponds covered with duckweeds release nutrients rapidly, causing problems of eutrophication of the water which can reduce water clarity and quality, creating a hypoxic or anoxic ‘dead zone' lacking sufficient oxygen to support most organisms. In the present study, the sudden mortality of black-band myleus Myloplus schomburgkii Jardine, 1841 drove the investigate of factors that caused the death of the specimens registered in a fish pond in the Peruvian Amazon. After the tallying of dead fish, it was revealed that sixty individuals (75% of the total population) of M. schomburgkii had died. The taxonomic identification of the aquatic plant revealed the presence of “duckweeds” locally named in Peru as “lenteja de agua” Lemna minor distributed throughout the pond. Physical and chemical water parameters revealed low levels of oxygen, acid water, and high levels of nitrate and phosphate. Since duckweeds cannot be completely eliminated from waters that are conducive to its growth and require periodic harvesting to prevent matting, proper management strategies therefore become critical to guarantee good quality of water in the pond and avoid black-band myleus deaths due to imbalances in physical and chemical parameters.

Wetlands are systems that promote the sustainability and development of a society. The goal of this research was the implementation of a prototype aquatic garden to assess the quality of water in Cajititlán Lake, using sewage treatment plants with the purpose of removing nutrients, phosphates and nitrates among others parameters. This was made possible by floating structures containing aquatic vegetation species like.: Typha latifolia, Lemna minor, Canna indica, Iris pseudacorus, Equisetum arvense, etc. whose basic function is to retain nutrients through phytoremediation processes. The results indicate that the implementation of community wetlands made possible to reduce BOD levels from 220 mg/lt to 12 mg/lt across a surface of 120 m², treating a flow rate of approximately 5.30 gal/min to obtain an effluent in accordance with norm NMX-AA-012-SCFI. It is concluded that community wetlands are suitable ecological alternatives for the treatment of the wastewater discharged directly into the lake.

Hot springs are important centers for recreation and tourism. However, the pollution that may potentially be caused by hot spring wastewater has rarely been discussed. More than half of Taiwan's hot springs are located in areas where the water quality of water bodies is to be protected, and untreated wastewater could pollute the receiving water bodies. In this study, we investigate hot spring wastewater in the Wulai area, one of Taiwan's famous hot spring resorts. Used water from five hot spring hotels was sampled and ten sampling events were carried out to evaluate the changes in the quality of used water in different seasons, at different periods of the week, and from different types of hotels. The concentrations of different pollutants in hot spring wastewater were found to exhibit wide variations, as follows: COD, 10–250 mg/L; SS, N.D.−93 mg/L; NH3-N, 0.01–1.93 mg/L; TP, 0.01–0.45 mg/L; and E. coli, 10–27,500 CFU/100 mL. The quality of hot spring wastewater depends on the operation of public pools, because this affects the frequency of supplementary fresh water and the outflow volume. Two management strategies, namely, onsite treatment systems and individually packaged treatment equipment, are considered, and a multi-objective optimization model is used to determine the optimal strategy.

And Chemical Properties

Anthropogenic lakes constitute one of the most significant genetic groups of lakes in Czechia. The water quality of these lakes formed through flooding of mined-out pits can be influenced by a number of factors such as physical and chemical properties of exploited rock, characteristics of the mine surroundings, secondary anthropogenic interference and time elapsed since their flooding. The quality of water determines their potential utilization, such as in water supply, agriculture, industry, recreation, nature preservation, etc. This article compares five anthropogenic lakes in mining pits after exploitation of different kind of rocks and on the basis of lake basin characteristics and physical and chemical analysis of water formulates the possibilities of their potential utilization in the context of the local landscape.

The Impact

The source of water, the content and quality is very important used in every stage of poultry production. The birds must have continuous access and supply of quality water without any antibiotic and bacteriological residues. Sensory, physiochemical properties and chemical composition must be taken into consideration while assessing water quality. The quality of water used in the production of conventional or organic poultry has impacts on the poultry health, quality of products and human health. The impact of water quality is higher on the functionality of water in live organism and the consumption amount varies depending on many factors. A source of water which is used in organic production is also important with their characteristics. Different water sources may be used for animal consumption, such as springs, shallow wells, deep and artesian wells, lakes and creeks. Organic farms should regularly submit water samples to a laboratory for testing of water quality against the possibility of contamination of water sources. Water contaminants could create equipment problems and restrict the amount of water available for consumption therefore affects the quality of products. There are many aspects to the broad problems of water quality and different physical and chemical applications used to ensure sustainability of water quality for human and animal use. In this review, it will be focused on the quality of the water to be used in the organic poultry production and quality enhancing physical and chemical applications.

To guarantee drinking water of high quality not only the drinking water treatment must be of high standards but also the quality of water resources should be the best possible. Therefore, pollution control and pollution risk management in the catchment areas of water resources are important parts of an overall water management concept. This includes the assessment of physical and chemical parameters as well as bacteriological parameters, especially hygienic parameters. A concept for an integrative consideration of drinking water treatment and quality management of water resources is presented.

High demand for water is driving potentially unsustainable practices and competition for water resources between various sectors in developing areas. As a result of improved quality of life and population growth, increase in demand for fresh water is anticipated in all African countries in all sectors, over the next 10 years. This study examines the effects of dry season irrigation farming (fadama) on the physical and chemical quality of the River Osin which receives both surface and subsurface flow from irrigated areas in the Upper Osin Catchment, Kwara State, Nigeria. A total of 90 samples were obtained from Upstream (UPS), Irrigated area (IRG) and Downstream (DNS) segments of the river in the dry and rainy seasons. Water samples were analysed for pH, conductivity, total dissolved solids (TDS), suspended solids, dissolved organic matter (DOM), pesticides (ionic basic type), Na+, K+, Mg2+,Cl-, NO3-, PO43-, Ca2+ and HCO3-. The results indicate that values of agricultural pollutants such as pesticides (CuSO4), NO3- and PO43- were significantly higher at IRG than at UPS, and decreased slightly at DNS, while all other anions and cations except DOM reached peak values at DNS. Agricultural pollutants (NO3-, PO43- and pesticides) contributed significantly to poor water quality observed at IRG and DNS segments but the values are within acceptable tolerance range at UPS. The findings further indicate that irrigation practice degrades the quality of water at IRG and DNS segments. As a result, a holistic approach to agriculture and water resource management is recommended to ensure sustainable water resources development in the catchment.

Sukajaya Lempasing is one of the villages located in Teluk Pandan District, Pesawaran Regency, Lampung Province. Sukajaya Lempasing Village was chosen as a place for research because of its position on the east coast which is directly adjacent to Lampung Bay, of which its groundwater is suspected to be contaminated by seawater, causing the water to be brackish. Field observation, data collection, as well as lithology and air control are needed to see the geological and hydrogeological conditions of this area. Based on the physical and chemical parameters, the well of Hamlet 7 has groundwater and there is no indication of sea water intrusion because the area is very close to hills which may become a catchment area so that groundwater flows out to sea with high pressure. Based on the salinity, TDS, and conductivity values ​​obtained, the well that experienced seawater intrusion was the AJR3 well because it is located closest to the coastline and is supported by an alluvial sediment aquifer that has moderate to high aquifer productivity. The quality of water based on physical parameter data from wells in Hamlet 1, Hamlet 7 and sample AJR4 Hamlet 3 is classified as clean and suitable for daily use. The lithology in the form of alluvial deposits allows seawater intrusion, especially in areas close to the shoreline such as the AJR3 well.
