2.5.2 Water Quality Indicators
Water Quality Indicators were selected based on the turbidity, because it expresses the sediment input in the water body due to erosion, and the transport of these particles towards it. The months for sampling were elected for being the ones with a higher probability of erosion, considering the rainfall data, indicating the months of February, October, and December as the ones with the highest rainfall averages. The data collected by Setzer (1985) was used to support the assessment of the the turbidity and suspended solids in the water.
