Water quality. Determination of selected organic nitrogen and phosphorus compounds. Gas chromatographic methods

Entre fevereiro de 2018 e janeiro de 2020, foi realizado o monitoramento hidrológico e de qualidade da água do Córrego Vicente Pires, localizado em uma zona urbana do Distrito Federal, a fim de avaliar as alterações na qualidade da água a partir da determinação de parâmetros físico-químicos, em eventos nos períodos seco e chuvoso. Foram elaborados polutogramas para os parâmetros de condutividade (elétrica), turbidez, pH, sólidos, demanda química de oxigênio e nutrientes (nitrogênio e fósforo), associados aos hidrogramas dos mesmos eventos, com vazões variando de 0,5 m³/s a 72,2 m³/s. O monitoramento dos eventos de cheia obteve concentrações de sólidos totais de até 7.583 mg/L, fosfato até 0,9 mg/L de PO43 e demanda química de oxigênio de até 958 mg/L. No período de estiagem, devido à menor disponibilidade de água no córrego, não há diluição de poluentes e ressalta-se a concentração de nitrato (NO3até 9 mg/L) em função dos lançamentos de esgotos domésticos no córrego. No período chuvoso, evidenciam-se os sólidos totais associados à lavagem da superfície e erosão do solo por grandes volumes gerados no escoamento superficial. Esses resultados expõem a necessidade de investimentos em infraestrutura de coleta de esgoto e drenagem urbana, inclusive, na adoção de medidas de contenção de sedimentos durante a realização de obras.Palavras-chaves: Monitoramento hidrológico; Polutograma; Cheias. <h2 align="center">URBAN WATERQUALITY IN THE VICENTE PIRES STREAM – FEDERAL DISTRICT</h2>AbstractBetween February 2018 and January 2020, hydrological and water quality monitoring of Vicente Pires Stream, located in the urban area of the Federal District, was carried out in order to assess the changes in water quality from the determination of physical-chemical parameters during events in the dry and rainy periods. Polutographs were prepared for parameters such as (electric) conductivity, turbidity, pH, solids, chemical oxygen demand and nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus), associated with hydrographs of the same events, with flows that ranged from 0.5 m³/s to 72.2 m³/s. The monitoring of flood events showed concentrations of total solids up to 7,583 mg/L, phosphate up 0,9 mg/L PO43 and chemical oxygen demand up to 958 mg/L. During the dry season, due to the lower availability of water in the stream, there is no dilution of pollutants and the nitrate concentration stands out (NO3 up to 9 mg/L), due to discharges of domestic sewage into the stream. In the rainy season, the total solids associated with the washing of the surface and soil erosion by large volumes of runoff stand out. These results expose a need for investment in sewage collection and urban drainage infrastructures, including the adoption of sediment containment measures during the execution of construction.Keywords: Hydrological monitoring; Polutograph; Floods.

Buangan limbah organik dari kegiatan budidaya ikan berdampak pada naiknya konsentrasi senyawa nitrogen di perairan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui sebaran vertikal konsentrasi total nitrogen (TN), total fosfat (TP), dan amonia pada perairan pesisir yang berdekatan dengan kawasan budidaya ikan laut di Bali Utara. Titik sampling dipilih pada kedalaman 5, 10, 15, 20, dan 30 meter dengan arah tegak lurus garis pantai di kawasan perbenihan ikan dengan tingkat aktivitas tinggi (Desa Gerokgak dan Desa Penyabangan) dan tiga titik sampling di sekitar karamba jaring apung (KJA) di Teluk Kaping, Desa Sumberkima. Sampel air diambil pada bagian permukaan, tengah, dan dasar pada tiap titik sampling. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada tahun 2019 dengan dua periode waktu yaitu bulan April sampai Juni dan Agustus sampai Oktober dengan satu kali pengambilan contoh air setiap bulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebaran konsentrasi TN, TP, dan amonia secara vertikal cenderung homogen pada tiap titik pengamatan. Konsentrasi TN, TP, dan amonia selama penelitian berturut-turut adalah 1,2-1,5 mg/L; 0,081-0,090 mg/L; dan 0,054-0,057 mg/L. Nilai tersebut berada di bawah baku mutu air untuk kebutuhan budidaya ikan. Sebaran konsentrasi senyawa nitrogen dan fosfat secara vertikal di lokasi penelitian relatif homogen pada semua lapisan kedalaman air yang diamati. Kondisi tersebut menunjukkan bahwa proses percampuran masa air terjadi secara merata di kawasan tersebut. Kualitas perairan di lokasi penelitian masih sesuai dengan nilai baku mutu untuk kegiatan budidaya laut.Direct discharge of organic waste from aquaculture platforms is likely to increase nitrogen concentration in the surrounding waters. The study aimed to investigate the vertical distribution of total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), and ammonia concentration in the coastal waters adjacent to the three densest mariculture sites in North Bali (Gerokgak, Penyabangan, and Kaping Bay). Field surveys were conducted six times within two periods namely April to June and August to October 2019. Samples of different water columns (surface, middle, and bottom) were collected using a Nansen water sampler in each sampling point. The samples were immediately analyzed at the Research Institute for Mariculture and Fishery Extension, Gondol. Total nitrogen, total phosphate, and ammonia were analysed using sulfuric acid destruction and distillation, nitrate-acid destruction, and phenol-spectrophotometer, respectively. The result showed that TN, TP, and ammonia levels were 1.2-1.5 mg/L, 0.081-0.090 mg/L, and 0.054-0.057 mg/L, respectively. The vertical distribution of nitrogen and phosphorus compounds at all layers of water column were relatively homogenous indicating a strong mixing between the seawater layers. Thus, the study concludes that the variations of all water quality parameters are within the water quality standard needed for mariculture activities.

Aquaculture Water

Abstract Nutrients nitrogen and phosphorus pollution in aquaculture is one of the greatest challenges threatening the survival of aquatic organisms, which requires efficient and sustainable remediation approach. Microbial remediation, especially the application of probiotics, has recently gained popularity in improving the water quality and maintaining the health condition of aquatic animals. In the present study, two groups of mixed Bacillus (Bacillus megaterium and Bacillus subtilis (A0+BS) and Bacillus megaterium and Bacillus coagulans (A0+BC)) were applied to aquaculture system of Crucian carp to improve the treatment of nitrogenous and phosphorus compounds. The effects of mixed Bacillus on water quality, and the structure and function of microbial communities in aquaculture water were investigated. Our results showed that the improvement effect of mixed Bacillus A0+BS on water quality was better than that of A0+BC, and the NH4+-N, NO2--N, NO3--N and total phosphorus (TP) concentrations were reduced by 46.3%, 76.3%, 35.6%, and 80.3%, respectively. In addition, both groups of mixed Bacillus increased the diversity of bacterial community and decreased the diversity of fungal community. Microbial community analysis showed that mixed Bacillus A0+BS increased the relative abundance of bacteria related with nitrogen and phosphorus removal, e.g., Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Comamonas, and Stenotrophomonas, but decreased the relative abundance of pathogenic bacteria (Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas) and fungi (Epicoccum and Fusarium). The redundancy analysis showed that NH4+-N, NO2--N, and TP were primary environmental factors affecting the microbial community in aquaculture water. PICRUST analysis indicated that all functional pathways in the treatment groups were up-regulated, and all pathways in A0+BS group were richer than those in other groups. These results indicated that mixed Bacillus A0+BS addition produced good results in reducing nitrogenous and phosphorus compounds and shaped a favorable microbial community structure to further improve water quality.

River Catchment

Evaluation of the hydrological role of wetlands in the Włodawka River catchment (Polesie Lubelskie) The Włodawka River catchment of an area of 725 km2 covers the central and eastern part of the Łęczna-Włodawa Lake District. Evaluation of the role of hydrogenic areas in runoff creation was based on materials of the Department of Hydrography and the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management data. The analysis was conducted for selected catchments in which additional hydrometric measurements and water quality tests were done. Such parameters as: the share of hydrogenic surfaces in total catchment area, types of wetlands, their hypsometric location and position with reference to drainage streams were taken into consideration for evaluation. The degree of anthropogenic transformation of the marshland was expressed in terms of density and depth of the drainage ditches that dissect it. It was found that the drained gyttja of Krowie Bagno plays a considerable role in increasing the minimum discharge. Wetlands in the Włodawka River catchment influence the conditions of the runoff and water quality, which is noticeable, primarily, in the concentration of organic carbon, and of nitrogen and phosphorus compounds.
