Resumen
Introduction. The water quality index (WQI)
incorporates physicochemical parameters in an
equation to determine the quality of the water in a
fixed place and time. Objective. Analyze the water
quality index of the Guaymaral sector, temporally
and spatially, using two methodologies to measure
calculations: UWQI and CWQI. Materials and
methods. A temporal-spatial comparison was
performed between August 2015 and April 2016,
selecting four sampling points and monitoring
physicochemical parameters in four different
seasons. Results. Most of the points sampled were
assessed by ICA-UWQI as fair, and by ICA-CWQI as
poor. Conclusions. From the two methodologies,
it was determined that the UWQI is ideal to rapidly
evaluate some specific use of the water, since it allows
immediate decision making, while the CWQI is ideal
for temporal-spatial evaluation studies.
