“…Degradation of surface water conditions, as reflected in the water quality status, has become an issue of environmental concern worldwide (Silva Soldán and Badurová 2013;Santos et al 2013;Rodgher et al 2013). Many countries now use a Water Quality Index (WQI) to assess the condition of waterbodies (Pesce and Wunderlin 2000;Jonnalagadda and Mhere 2001;Bordalo et al 2006;Rahman et al 2011;Horton 1965;Sanchez et al 2007).…”

Due to a lack of the related data, there were no simple water indexes available for indicating water quality. Motivated by the fact that many lakes and reservoirs in Indonesia have been polluted because of aquacultural activity, this paper proposed a Water Quality Index, called the Aquaculture Water Quality Index (AWQI), and presented the development of practical tool to aid the development of aquaculture in Indonesia. Specific purposes included: (a) providing a brief summary of the assessment results of the existing WQI; (b) developing the AWQI method for applying in an aquacultural context; (c) implementing the AWQI method in Depok Area (Indonesia) as study area. An AHP method was also processed to define the weights of selected water quality parameters: DO, ammonia, pH, and fecal coliform. The AWQI had several features: (a) a low-cost water quality monitoring program that could be used by developing countries; (b) a useful tool for water resource agencies, especially for local agencies, to manage waterbodies and to raise public awareness of water pollution for its data, as its data could be easily understood and interpreted.

Soil contamination enters aquatic ecosystems affecting sediment quality. The region studied is the Taquari River, Brazil, close to a site contaminated by wood preservatives, with a runoff route into the river. The first stage of the remediation process (In this article, the terms intervention and remediation have been used with slightly different meanings. We consider intervention to be the first phase of the remediation process, which aims to remove active sources) was an intervention to remove the main active sources. The Salmonella/microsome assay and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were used to assess sediment quality in organic extracts during different intervention phases. The strains used were TA98, TA97a, and TA100 with and without S9mix (±S9). The results indicated the presence of pro-mutagens at site Ta010 (closest to the contaminated site) in all samplings, and the highest result occurred before intervention for TA100 + S9 (1,672 ± 215.9 rev/g). These values decreased during (83 ± 23.6 rev/g) and after this process (403 ± 105.9 rev/g), although the PAHs concentrations increased. Samples from this site presented PAHs with a carcinogenic potential during the assessed periods. After intervention, Ta006 (4 km downstream from Ta010) showed the most significant mutagenesis for TA100 + S9 (764 ± 230.2 rev/g) and, although the total PAHs values were lower, the species considered carcinogenic had higher concentrations. Mutagenesis predicted values of PAHs confirmed that carcinogenic species were predominantly detected by TA100, and the other PAHs by TA97a strains. Marked contaminant release to the river was observed, mainly in Ta010 at different periods. Mutagenicity and PAHs values in an internal stream, upstream from Ta010, showed a dispersion route of these agents. Thus, contamination in Ta010 and possible contribution to Ta006, after intervention, provides a warning regarding environmental quality in the region. Environ. Mol.
