“…The pH is one of the parameters considered by all the WQI (Table 6), and this is a conditioning factor for the solubility and self-purification of solutes in the water in the same way, nitrates, DO, and BOD 5 are considered [43,64,68,90], which is related to the organic matter present in the water bodies [7,8,13,53]. In this sense, the proposed index takes into consideration these general aspects for rivers with anthropic influence.…”

“…Rivers can become polluted on their way, transporting and accumulating pollutants. The problem can be aggravated when rivers pass through urbanized areas where contamination with organic matter stormwater runoff contributes further [8][9][10][11]. Additionally, rivers in urban areas are affected by untreated wastewater discharges from clandestine landfills, sanitary landfills, and industrial waste [12][13][14][15][16].…”

“…Water quality is assessed by physical parameters such as turbidity, conductivity, and resistivity; chemical parameters such as pH, hardness, alkalinity, acidity, total solids, chlorides, nitrates, phosphates, fluorides, magnesium, iron, manganese, toxic metals, and dissolved gases; biological parameters such as biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total organic carbon; and further microbiological parameters [25][26][27], which might be associated with the incidence of anthropic activity in a region [8,15,28,29].…”

The water from the high Andean rivers is peculiar due to its composition and the geomorphology of its sources, and naturally or anthropogenically contamination is not discarded along its course. This water is used for agriculture and human consumption, therefore knowing its quality is important. This research aimed to proposing and formulate a water-quality index for high Andean basins through the Delphi method, and its application in the Chumbao River located in Andahuaylas-Peru. Forty-three water-quality parameters were evaluated through the Delphi method, and the water-quality index (WQIHA) was formulated with a weighted average of the weights of the selected parameters, it was compared with the WQI Dinius. For this purpose, ten sampling points were considered along the Chumbao River located between 4274 and 2572 m of altitude and the WQIHA was applied. In addition, field and laboratory analyses were carried out in 2018, 2019, and 2021, in dry and rainy seasons. Twenty parameters were grouped in the physicochemical sub-index (SIPC), heavy metals sub-index (SIHM), and organic matter sub-index (SIOM). Each group contributed with weights of 0.30, 0.30, and 0.40, respectively, for the WQIHA formulation. The SIPC and SIOM showed that the areas near the head of the basin presented excellent and good quality, while the urbanized areas were qualified as marginal to poor; SIHM reported good quality in all points and seasons. Regarding the WQIHA, the index shows good quality in the zones above 3184 m of altitude, contrasting with poor quality downstream, decreasing notably in both seasons, suggesting continuous degradation of the water body.

Water is an important component of human life. His existence and growth are inextricably connected to water. Water is utilised for human necessities such as drinking, washing, bathing, cooking, and so on. Irrigation and industry both require water for the production of food and other necessities. Sewage and waste industrial effluents are being mixed with fresh water streams in many areas throughout the world, affecting humans, animals, and plants. Anantapuramu is a significant city in the Rayalaseema area of Andhra Pradesh. It has a population of about 5 lakh people. Singanamala is a village in Anantapur district with a population of 10,000 people. Untreated sewage from Anantapuramu runs for 12 kilometres in the Tadakaleru stream before arriving to Singanamala Tank. People in Singanamala village utilise the water stored in the Singanamala tank for irrigation and drinking. In other words, Anantapuramu’s sewage provides fresh water to the inhabitants of Singanamala. By sampling at regular intervals, the current study intends to analyse the water quality characteristics of the Tadakaleru stream from the site of confluence of sewage from Anantapuramu to Singanamala tank. The ability of the Tadakaleru stream to purify itself will be tested. The quality of the groundwater is also examined. At present the sewage of Anantapur is being self-purified in Tadakaleru stream. In mere future, for increased population sewage treatment plant is necessary to treat the sewage of Anantapur town.
