| The lack of infrastructure and treatment facilities for the large quantities of domestic sewage generated by expanding coastal urban populations, and an increasing number of visiting tourists, represents the greatest threat to public health, coastal habitats and economic development in each state of the region. Other priorities requiring action include the effects of siltation related to agricultural activity and the dumping of solid domestic waste in the coastal areas leading to the degradation of coastal habitats, with implications for fish stocks and catches. Furthermore, laws and policies regardinng waste disposal and quality of effluents need to be enacted and reinforced Although eutrophication and algal blooms associated with agricultural, industrial... |

| The paper presents preliminary data collected in an assessment of the social, economic and environmental impacts of water hyacinth in the Lake Victoria Basin. A summary of the status of control and strategies for the future is given. The report draws on field observations made, studies through interviews of affected communities and organisations, personal communications and published reports by scientists in the region. Lake Victoria, the world’s second largest freshwater body, supports an estimated 25 million people living in the Basin, with an estimated gross economic product of US$3–4 billion annually, mainly from subsistence agriculture and fishing in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and parts of Rwanda and Burundi. The multiple activities in the Lake Victoria... |

| The Almendares River constitutes the most important superficial stream in Cuban capital, that finishes in the Metropolitan Park of Havana, which is an entertaining centre. The objective of this work is to determine the presence of toxic inorganic pollutants in the Almendares River water. 10 samplings were carried out from June 2003 to May 2004 in 14 stations established along the last 10 km of the river and 3 tributaries. The quantification of nitrates, nitrites and ammonium was done by spectrophotometric methods The concentration of heavy metals in the dissolved and particulate phase was determined by atomic emission spectrometry. The total microbial charge was determined by epifluorescency. Were found high levels of ammonium and nitrites, as well as high... |

| As a result of an agreement signed by the Municipal Government of Baradero Buenos Aires Province, Argentina and the INIDEP, the sanitary quality of the Baradero River waters was studied and fish safety assessed. Results of five field surveys carried out between 1993 and 1997 are studied. Organochlorine and organophosphorate pesticide residues, as well as traces of heavy metals were analyzed in 49 fish specimens and aerobic heterotrophic bacteria (AHB), total coliform bacteria (TC) and fecal coliform bacteria (FC) were counted out in 7 sampling stations placed on the coast and the riverbed. Alpha Hexachlorohexane, gamma Hexachlorohexane, beta Hexachlorohexane, Aldrin, Heptachlor epoxide, pp'DDE and Dieldrin were detected in fish tissues. The values of AHB... |

| El embalse Rapel, es un cuerpo de agua que está siendo sometido a un fuerte impacto antropogénico, por lo que evidencia severos signos de eutrofización. Esto último debido a que el embalse se ha transformado en el cuerpo receptor de una gran diversidad de efluentes (industriales, agrícolas y domésticos), que evacuan sus descargas sin ningún tipo de tratamiento. A lo cual se le debe agregar la recepción de aguas provenientes de los relaves de la mina de cobre “El Teniente”. Con el objetivo de determinar la presencia y acumulación de metales pesados en el agua y en los organismos zooplanctónicos, durante el mes de Octubre del 2003 se tomaron muestras de agua y de ejemplares de Ceriodaphnia dubia, Bosmina chilensis y Diaptomus diabolicus. Como especies... |
