Calidad físico-química y microbiólogica del agua en parques acuáticos

The purpose of this investigation was to analyze the water quality evolution in a water park, determining deterioration levels and probable causes, in this study were analyzed different parameters determining the presence of microorganisms, to propose water quality control systems for these establishments. As study zone was chosen the Morelos State, Mexico, which has four water parks. The study analyzed one of these parks, dividing the study as follow: Phase 1) Sampling of water in and out of the park, analyzing physicochemical and microbiological parameters; and Phase 2) Operational evaluation in six pools of water Park, assessing the electrical conductivity, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), pH, color, turbidity and residual chlorine. The results were compared with Mexican Official Standards, determining whether there is deterioration in the quality of the resource in the operational processes of the parks. The Phase 1 gave as results raised levels in fats and oils (19.0 mg/L), color (100 UPt-Co), fecal coliforms (1.15 · 10 4 NMP/100 mL) and total
