Inland waters; water pollution; eutrophication; Remote sensing, spatial distribution of turbidityAbstract
The Basin of Conchos River, located in the State of Chihuahua (Mexico), has suffered a marked deterioration
due to the development of human activities. The urban population growth, industrialization,
and agriculture have significantly degraded water resources of this basin. To examine the quality of its
waters, the reservoirs of Las Vírgenes dam, the Colina lake, and La Boquilla dam have been analyzed, determining the parameters of dissolved oxygen, pH, nitrates, total dissolved solids, turbidity and temperature from water samples. Using these data and the spectral information of Landsat 5 satellite images, 30 linear regression models were evaluated; from these models, turbidity obtained the best match. The regions of spectrum 0.52-0.6 μm and 0.63-0.69 μm, provided by the predictor variable, appeared as the ranges of higher correlation with the values of turbidity. The model used to represent the turbidity spatially distributed shows that La Boquilla dam gets the highest values related to the suspension of sediments provided by ephemeral channels throughout the reservoir.
