“…2 ). In Ecuador, few studies assessed these chemical parameters in rivers 21 , 24 . Voloshenko-Rossin and colleagues evaluated some physicochemical parameters in the San Pedro, Guayllabamba and Esmeraldas Rivers 21 , obtaining similar values of pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen (DO), and turbidity when compared to our study.…”

“…In 2020, a study evaluated the quality of eighteen rivers located in Quito 23 , identifying Machángara and Monjas Rivers as the most contaminated rivers based on the physicochemical and microbiological parameters. However, little is still known about the microbial and chemical contamination in Ecuador’s main rivers, despite some studies recently realized in rivers of certain major cities (Guayaquil, Esmeraldas, and Quito) of Ecuador 21 , 22 , 24 .…”

“…Various assessment models have been widely used to assess the ecological impacts of land use in urbanization areas. Previous studies have analyzed the effects on ecological water quality [37], net primary productivity [38], dust emissions [39], and ecological functional vulnerability [40]. These evaluation models provide an important reference for regional sustainable land management.…”

“…Besides the natural inputs from terrestrial ecosystems, anthropogenic activities such as fertilization or wastewater discharges can lead to elevated nutrient inputs which in turn can lead to an increase in GHG emissions from inland water bodies. In urban areas, land-use changes and the discharges from sewers and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have deteriorated river water quality by causing extensive modification in biochemical reactions and hydro-and morphology characteristics (Damanik-Ambarita et al, 2018). These anthropogenic sources were estimated to account for at least 10% of the global N2O emissions from rivers to the atmosphere (Beaulieu et al, 2011).…”
