Five parameters were analyzed in this work: pH, % Dissolved Oxygen, reactive phosphorus, and nitrogen species as nitrate and ammonia compounds. Obtained concentrations were statistically analyzed to establish if there were significant differences among sites and between seasons; being the dry season the one with higher nutrient content, ammonia can be considered statistical significance due to the total values found for each season. Calculation of the Karydis eutrophication index for each parameter showed that more damaged sites were those nearby the cities, and most of the sampled sites belonged to the eutrophic category.</span> </p></p> </div> <div id="JournalInfor_div_showkeywords" style="margin-bottom: 10px;"> <p style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 16px;">Keywords</p> <p><a href='articles?searchcode=Eutrophication%3b+Pollutants%3b+River+Basin%3b+River+Watersheds&searchfield=keyword&page=1' target='_blank'>Eutrophication; Pollutants; River Basin; River Watersheds</a> </p> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 10px;"> <p style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Share and Cite: </p> <div id="JournalInfor_div_share"> <!-- AddToAny BEGIN --> <div class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 a2a_default_style"> <a class="a2a_button_facebook"></a> <a class="a2a_button_twitter"></a> <a class="a2a_button_linkedin"></a> <a class="a2a_button_sina_weibo"></a> <a class="a2a_dd" href="https://www.addtoany.com/share"></a> </div> <script type="text/javascript" async src="https://static.addtoany.com/menu/page.js"></script> <!-- AddToAny END --> </div> <div style="margin-top: 10px; text-align:left;"> M.

Introduction</p> <p> A vital resource for all anthropogenic activity and landscape preservation is clean water availability. Back in history, humans have settled nearby water bodies, using them to satisfy their necessities as well as a waste disposal receptor; although in recent time, water carrying capacity has been overcome because of the rise in global population which increased the amount of wastes disposed onto rivers, lakes and lakeshores [1-7].</p> <p> Worldwide the most common damage exerted onto surface waters has become evident through the eutrophication effect, since water bodies have become rich in phosphorus and nitrogen, nutrients whose origin can be either land farming activities or byproducts from wastewater organic matter degradation. These excessive nutrient concentrations exert negative impacts onto aquatic ecosystems. The most evident effect is proliferation of algae and macrophytes whose presence not only impacts water quality by degrading it, but also interferes with possible water use in recreation, industrial and agricultural activities, as well as reduces any possible application to provide drinking water to the nearby communities [1-3]. It is worthy to mention that some decades ago eutrophication was considered being a process taking place at lakes and ponds, but actually is having presence at rivers and lakeshores, a phenomenon that has been called “cultural eutrophication” [3,5,6].</p> <p> The target area of study The San Pedro-Mezquital river basin is a place mainly affected by agricultural runoff, municipal wastewater discharges, and solid waste disposal; additionally a vegetal coverage loss has increased. Authorities’ efforts have not been successful because wastewater treatment plants have been operated in a wrong scheme of infrastructure and chemical treatment [4].</p> <p> Since the San Pedro-Mezquital basin is the main source of water supply for the agricultural and urban zone of Durango City, this work presented an approach to determine the eutrophication levels along the basin, using as indicators key parameters for aquatic life such as soluble o reactive phosphorus<img src="https://www.scirp.org/html/6-6702097\6d36db62-fddf-4b4c-8139-ff392b28d3a6.jpg" width="61.275" height="35.625&nbsp;" />, nitrogen as nitrates<img src="https://www.scirp.org/html/6-6702097\9b03706e-6a85-44ea-beeb-7d758877edd9.jpg" width="79.8" height="35.625&nbsp;" />, and ammonium compounds (N-NH<sub>3</sub>/<img src="https://www.scirp.org/html/6-6702097\f1c4362c-2814-40b9-85ab-2515a5ff20d0.jpg" width="44.175" height="32.775&nbsp;" />), as well as dissolved oxygen percentage (% DO). It is expected that the obtained results support recommendations that allowed implementation of actions for recovery and preservation according to the World Wildlife Foundation (WWF) principles.</p> <p class="E-Title1"> 2. Materials and Methods </p> <p class="E-Title2"> 2.1. Description of the Target Place </p> <p> The study area belongs to the San Pedro-Mezquital basin. The river runs a pathway of about 540 Km, along it there are several name changes; it is born at the northwest of Durango City with the name of La Sauceda, afterwards and nearby the town of Nombre de Dios, the Tunal and the Santiago Bayacora branches join to La Sauceda, forming Durango River. Downstream it runs as Mezquital River crossing through the West Mountain Range flowing to Marismas Nacionales, at Nayarit State where it is designed as San Pedro-Mezquital River [4].</p> <p> The basin comprises about 2.7 millions of hectares distributed over Durango, Nayarit and Zacatecas States. Onto this region, there are settled about 800,000 inhabitants whose main economic activities comprise livestock raising, forestry and farming; also, at the plains there are shrimp and oyster farms, activities which depends on having a healthy river [8].</p> <p> In the San Pedro basin the yearly average runoff is about 1636 millions of cubic meters pouring over 25,990 Km<sup>2</sup>, from which 19,390 belong to Durango State.</p> <p class="sacImgMarkCss"> <span class="cs_fig_con"><a name="Figure 1" id="Figure 1" target="_self">Figure 1</a></span> is a map of Mexico, in which it is pointed the basin location in a red tone, and in <span class="cs_fig_con"><a href="#Figure 2" target="_self">Figure 2</a></span> it is shown an insight of the San Pedro river basin pathway, while in <span class="cs_fig_con"> <a href="#Figure 3" target="_self">Figure 3</a></span> it is shown a close-up of the region where the location of sampling points are indicated.</p> <p class="E-Title2"> 2.2. Sampling</p> <p> At the higher part of the basin 10 points for sampling were established; samples were collected under two conditions: 1) the rainy season of year (August) and 2) the dry season of the following year (March). In <span class="cs_fig_con"><a href="#Table 1" target="_self">Table 1</a></span> are reported the local names for each sampling point.</p> <p> Two samples of 1 and 3 L were collected at the middle of the river; in situ temperature (T) and dissolved oxygen (%DO) were determined. Once measured, one mL of H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> was added to the 1 L samples for fixing the ammonium to obtain the <img src="https://www.scirp.org/html/6-6702097\6a65309e-b250-4155-bb73-6200c5317cd9.jpg" width="104.025" height="32.775&nbsp;" /> compounds. All samples were placed on ice and transported to the laboratory for further analyses.</p> <p> In this study, eutrophication level determination is based on the presence of the following nutrients: nitrogen and reactive phosphorus, besides the %OD for its relation with the eutrophication.</p> <p> Ammonia compounds are present at the first stages of organic matter degradation, therefore in fresh domestic wastewater this is the main nitrogen form, in old waters the nitrate is the predominant specie.

This parameter was analyzed by duplicate following the recommended procedure of Standard Methods for water and wastewater [10]. The amount of compound recovery is referred in respect to known concentration standards.</p> <p> Reactive phosphorus is a limiting factor for aquatic vegetation development; it is known that its source belongs to detergent polyphosphates which are either directly discharged or they were not removed in the wastewater treatment plants. This parameter was determined by the Olsen method using a visible light spectrophotometer Spectronic 20 Genesys TM, calibrated with commercial standard solutions.</p> <p> Dissolved oxygen parameter is used to qualitatively describe water quality; in natural environments oversaturation can be due to a high photosynthetic activity.</p> <p> Otherwise, low oxygen concentrations can be an indicator of organic matter contamination as well as a high respiratory activity-taking place by natural processes. For this parameter measurement was done in situ at the river central path using a DO meter, model Orion 842.</p> <p class="E-Title2"> 2.3. Eutrophication Index Calculated for Each Nutrient</p> <p> The Karydis eutrophication index was calculated for each nutrient [11]. This index allows determination of the trophic state for each sampling site. The following considerations were applied in its formulation:</p> <p> • It should be specific for each nutrient.</p> <p> • It should account for the nutrimental contribution at any specific location.</p> <p> • It should be dimensionless and used for several water types.</p> <p> • It should be sensitive to eutrophication effects, simple in data handling and calculation.</p> <p> The eutrophication index (EI) is calculated with the following equation:</p> <p class="imgPCss"> <img class="bracketImgMark" src="https://www.scirp.org/html/6-6702097\a66b184c-27da-425d-8b74-e8d1ea8b29bd.jpg" width="186.675" height="55.575" /> <span class="bracketMark">(1)</span></p> <p> In this equation EI = eutrophication index for each nutrient at each sampling point, during the study period; and it is composed by M samples.</p> <p> A = number of sampling points during the study period.</p> <p> X<sub>i</sub> = total nutrient concentration at the A<sub>i</sub> sampling point during the study period; this data is the sum of nutrient concentrations obtained at the A<sub>i</sub> sampling point, during the M<sub>j</sub> sample collection.</p> <p> C = logarithm of total nutrient concentration during the study period; it is the sum of X<sub>ij</sub> nutrient concentrations obtained at the A<sub>i</sub> sampling point during the M<sub>j</sub> sample collection. This concentration is calculated with the following equation:</p> <p class="imgPCss"> <img class="bracketImgMark" src="https://www.scirp.org/html/6-6702097\569236da-3f56-4703-b326-ff9f3ee1b228.jpg" width="135.375" height="57" /> <span class="bracketMark">(2)</span></p> <p> Obtained values of EI can be match with the water trophic state as follows:</p> <p> EI &lt; 3 corresponds to an oligotrophic state;</p> <p> 3 ≤ EI ≤ 5 corresponds to a mesotrophic state;</p> <p> 5 ≤ EI corresponds to a eutrophic state.</p> <p class="E-Title2"> 2.4. Statistical Analysis </p> <p> For validation of the differences in the analytical data it was used an ANOVA 10 &times; 2 factorial design with two replicates. Considered factors were: the sampling site (ten levels) and the season (two levels), also it was applied a Newman-Keuls media test, with a α = 0.05; analytical runs were executed with the Statistic v.7 software.</p> <p class="E-Title1"> 3. Results and Discussion</p> <p> As it was mentioned before, water was sampled at two times: season I in August (rainy time), and season II in March (dry time).</p> <p class="E-Title2"> 3.1.

The obtained analytical concentrations during the season I was as follow: 4 sites have RP below the 0.01 mg∙L<sup>−1</sup>, the others exhibit values between a minimum of 0.07 mg∙L<sup>−1</sup> and a maximum of 2.4 mg∙L<sup>−1</sup>, with an average value of 0.73 mg∙L<sup>−1</sup>. During the season II, again 4 sites were under 0.01 mg∙L<sup>−1</sup>, while the others exhibit greater values with a maximum of 3.58 mg∙L<sup>−1</sup>, with an average of 0.52 mg∙L<sup>−1</sup>.</p> <p> Applying the statistical analysis some significant differences were found between season I and season II, with an F = 5.05 and a probability of 0.02768, sites with greater variation in concentrations were El Mezquital, El Saltito, and downstream of Francisco Villa dam, the last two exhibit a raise in RP during season II, fact that can be attributed to a lower pollutant dilution since the river flow decreases; the other sites kept similar concentrations during both seasons.</p> <p class="title3"> 3.1.2. Dissolved Oxygen Saturation Percentage (%DO)</p> <p> A good quality of water implies that %DO should be between 80% - 90%, this means that there are not eutrophication symptoms. During season I a maximum concentration (105%) was registered at the site upstream of the Caboraca dam, while the minimum (16%) took place at Refugio Salcido. Otherwise during season II a maximum concentration (122%) was registered at the upstream of the Fco Villa dam, while the minimum (68%) happened at the site El Mezquital. The other sites exhibit values that can be accounted as normal.</p> <p> Results of the statistical comparison between seasons indicate significant differences with F = 9.9421 and a probability of 0.0023, since oxygen concentrations exhibit a high variability between seasons.</p> <p> Results of RP and %DO are shown in <span class="cs_fig_con"><a href="#Figure 4" target="_self">Figure 4</a></span>, sites whose average values were not statistically different are indicated with the same letter.</p> <p class="title3"> 3.1.3.

Also, river path runs across agriculture lands, and applied fertilizer can increase the nitrate content arriving to the site.</p> <p> Another site of concern is El Mezquital (site 10) which is classified as mesotrophic for nitrogen compounds, a logical fact since it is receptor of municipal wastewater from it, which is a city having 80,000 habitants.</p> <p> Results from season II are presented in <span class="cs_fig_con"><a href="#Table 3" target="_self">Table 3</a></span>.
