BROUSETT-MINAYA, Magaly et al. Physical-Chemical and Microbiological Evaluation of Water for Human Consumption Puno - Peru. Fides Et Ratio [online]. 2018, vol.15, n.15, pp.47-68. ISSN 2071-081X.

Aims: to verify the sanitary quality of water for human consumption in its physicochemical and microbiological aspects, coming from four sources of supply (surface and underground) in Chullunquiani, Juliaca - Puno. It was developed between July 2014 and March 2016. Metodology: The evaluated parameters were pH, conductivity, turbidity, hardness, dissolved solids, sulfates, chlorides and total coliforms, we also analysed 23 metals, recommended by the World Health Organization (OMS). The methodology we used was the proposal in the Standard Methods for Water Analysis: APHA, AWWA. The results of this research were compared with the reference values stipulated by OMS and with the current norm of the Quality of the Water for Human Consumption of Peru's Ministry of Health. Results: The physico-chemical parameters studied are within the acceptable range with the exception of aluminum for surface water exceeding 0,065mg / l and for the case of groundwater Boron was exceeded 0,025mg / l. Likewise it was evidenced in rainy seasons, reaching 11 866,6 CFU / 100ml (± 813,5) as maximum value. Conclusion: The water that supplies the town of Chullunquiani does not comply with microbiological regulations, demonstrating the need to implement a monitoring program that ensures a systematic monitoring of sources of supply and distribution.
