| Summary: | A physicochemical and microbiological characterization was carried out to classify groundwater in three areas of Buchivacoa municipality in order to propose a treatment scheme. Sampling was done by pumping in 32 wells and laboratory analysis to determine the physicochemical and microbiological characteristics of the water, which were compared with the current regulations for drinking water. The analyzes indicate that some wells have hardness, iron and manganese contents that are above the maximum permitted by Venezuelan standards. Likewise, the study determined that the water in the wells is brackish. The results for coliforms, Escherichia coli, Salmonella and spores of viscosity-forming bacteria were negative. Waters can be classified in sub types 1B and 1C. The suggested treatment scheme is made up of filtration, softening, aeration, reverse osmosis and chlorination processes. |
