Abstract
El monitoreo de los sólidos disueltos totales (TDS) en el agua es crucial para asegurar su calidad, especialmente en fuentes destinadas al consumo humano. Esta investigación se centró en determinar las concentraciones de TDS en el agua utilizada por la comunidad de San Juan de Pillo, Acraquia. Se llevó a cabo un estudio cuantitativo con diseño de campo, recolectando muestras de un canal de riego en dos periodos de 2024: enero, con mayor caudal, y abril, con menor caudal. Se realizaron 12 muestreos en tres horarios diferentes cada semana durante cuatro semanas. Los resultados se analizaron utilizando la prueba de hipótesis "t" de Student, encontrando diferencias significativas en los niveles de TDS entre los meses estudiados. Estos hallazgos subrayan la necesidad de un monitoreo continuo para garantizar el acceso a agua potable segura, ya que las concentraciones de TDS no cumplen con los estándares del decreto supremo 004-2017 del Ministerio del Ambiente del Perú.
The monitoring of total dissolved solids (TDS) in water is crucial to ensure its quality, especially in sources intended for human consumption. This research focused on determining TDS concentrations in the water used by the community of San Juan de Pillo, Acraquia. A quantitative study was conducted with a field design, collecting samples from an irrigation canal during two periods in 2024: January, with higher flow, and April, with lower flow. Twelve samples were taken at three different times each week over four weeks. The results were analyzed using Student's "t" hypothesis test, revealing significant differences in TDS levels between the studied months. These findings underscore the need for continuous monitoring to ensure access to safe drinking water, as TDS concentrations do not meet the standards of Supreme Decree 004-2017 from the Ministry of Environment of Peru.
