Pollution levels have been increasing in water ecosystems worldwide. A quality index (WQI) is an available tool to approximate the of and facilitate work decision-makers by grouping analyzing numerous parameters with a single numerical classification system. The objective this study was develop WQI for dam used irrigation about 5000 ha agricultural land. dam, La Vega, located Teuchitlan, Jalisco, Mexico. Seven sites were selected sampling samples collected March, June, July, September,...
El pasto banderita [Bouteloua curtipendula (Michx.) Torr.] es una de las especies nativas más utilizadas para rehabilitar pastizales degradados en el norte México; no obstante, enfrenta desafíos significativos lograr su establecimiento, especialmente bajo condiciones sequía. Por lo anterior, objetivo este estudio fue evaluar desarrollo morfológico y características estomáticas plántulas poblaciones dos humedad del suelo (normal sequía) analizar la relación entre sus diferencias genéticas...
Pollutants from pig farms in Mexico have caused problems many surface water reservoirs. Growing concern has driven the search for low-cost wastewater treatment solutions. The objective of this research was to evaluate potential an in-series constructed wetland remove nutrients a farm. system had horizontal flow that consisted three cells, first wetland, second sedimentation cell, and third subsurface wetland. vegetation used Thypa sp. Scirpus A mix soil with red volcanic rock (10–30 mm...
A Water Quality Index (WQI) is a simple numeric expression reflecting the quality of water in any ecosystem at given time. The objective this study was to develop WQI for man-made dam Francisco I. Madero located Chihuahua, Mexico. Eight points were randomly selected area and each point samples collected monthly from March 2011 February 2012 three depths; 0.30 m, 5 m 10 m. following physical-chemical variables measured: potential hydrogen (pH), electrical conductivity (EC), dissolved oxygen...
The use of treated wastewater (TWW) for irrigation has gained global attention since it reduces pressure on groundwater (GW) and surface water. This study aimed to evaluate the effect TWW agronomic, photosynthetic, stomatal, nutritional characteristics barley plants. experiment with was established two bands: one band irrigated GW other TWW. evaluation performed 25, 40, 60, 90, 115 days after sowing (DAS). Results showed that increased (p < 0.01) grain yield by 54.3% forage 39.4% compared...
Abstract Environmental niche modeling (ENM) has emerged as a promising tool for identifying grass species with potential rangeland restoration. This approach can detect suitable areas and environments where these be planted. In this study, we employed ENM to estimate the distribution range of 50 grasslands shrublands northern Mexico. The outcome served identify restoration in Mexico, especially those not commonly used that purpose past. Results suggested possibility selecting seven...
The availability of good quality water resources is essential to ensure healthy crops and livestock. objective this study was evaluate the level pollution in Bustillos Lagoon northern Mexico. Physical-chemical parameters like sodium, chloride, sulfate, electrical conductivity, nitrates, pesticide dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) were analyzed determine available lagoon. Although DDT has been banned several countries, it still used for agricultural purposes Mexico its presence area had...
La zeolita se ha utilizado de forma efectiva para la adsorción iones en agua contaminada. El objetivo fue evaluar remoción metales pesados utilizando filtros empacados con una natural diferente granulometría. Se evaluaron cuatro tratamientos: 70 mm (T1-grande), 30 (T2-mediano), 500 μm (T3-chico) y combinación (T4-mixto). concentración Ag, Al, As, Au, B, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, K, Li, Mg, Mo, Na, Ni, P, Pb, Sb, Se, Sn, Sr, Tu, Ti, Tl, V, W Zn medida cruda (AC), cual empleó...

La disminución (OD) ecosistemas acuáticos alrededor mundo ha afectado su calidad. El objetivo fue estimar variación espacio-temporal OD agua Fueron...
Radon (222Rn) is an odorless and tasteless gas that known to cause lung cancer. The objective of this research was quantify the levels exposure radon among people living in environment rich uranium (U). concentrations were measured for 3 days 12 homes Aldama, Mexico. Homeowners agreed participate study; hence, sample non-probabilistic. with a portable AlphaGuard Monitor (Genicron Instruments GmbH), which placed bedroom each home at height 0.74 m. Gas registered Becquerels (Bq m−3), readings...
Recreational water use provides important benefits for human health; nevertheless, there can be adverse effects if the is polluted. Aim of this work was to develop a Water Quality Index (RWQI) Colina Lake in Mexico. samples were collected from March 2011 February 2012 at seven random locations and three depths (0.30 m, 1.0 m 2.0 m). Parameters analyzed pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), oxygen (DO), temperature (T), turbidity, hardness (TH) chlorides (Cl-) (TC)...
Groundwater and domestic wastewater are often used in conjunction with surface water to irrigate crops semiarid areas. A concern associated this practice is the potential accumulation of arsenic (As) heavy metals soil plants, especially places where irrigation contains geogenic As. Studies on uptake cereal growing under dry oxidizing conditions scarce. one-year field experiment was conducted evaluate translocation As barley oats irrigated either groundwater (GW) or treated (TWW) northern...
Natural zeolites have been employed to adsorb contaminants in water. This study is aimed evaluate the cation and anion leaching from zeolite after wastewater was passed through filters packed with a natural (heulandite-CaAl2Si7O18·6H2O). Eight treatments were evaluated 2 × factorial treatment design. Factor A two levels: 127 g 80.4 g. B nanoparticles one bag (3.19 g) bags (6.39 g); C use of magnet: without.
