El This research work aims, the study of water quality to what lengths the Portoviejo River from the outlet of Poza Honda reservoir until arrival at the Water Treatment Plant (PPA) "El Ceibal". The main contributions are identified, also determining the effects caused elevated levels of hardness in the communities of Manta, Montecristi, Rocafuerte, Jaramijó, with 310,443 inhabitants, corresponding to the third part of the province of Manabi, as well as other sites that are supplied by the same outside the province.
For research sample along the channel of different physicochemical parameters, comparison of results, and identification of contaminants areas is done. Direct impact on water quality of raw water for treatment with the existing water treatment and surveys to determine the perception of the problem by the community was also studied. As a result a number of actions to control water quality and reducing local pollution whose success depends on the inter and multidisciplinary integration of watershed stakeholders and governing bodies is proposed.
