Evaluation Techniques of the Chemical and Microbiological Water Quality in the Coastal Environment

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Microbial Enzymes and Biotechniques

Abstract

Historically, many people live in coastlines, the social importance of the coastal environments has increased especially because of economic resources. The water quality monitoring is necessary because the environment health is equivalent to human health. The common chemical and microbiological parameters for water quality analyses include the physicochemical indicators; inorganic nutrients; organic compounds; trace metals; chlorophyll concentration; biochemical oxygen demand; and fecal indicator organism (FIOs) to evaluate the influence on the physiology of aquatic organisms, reactivity, trophic state of the ecosystem and to infer pathogenic risk assessments of coastal waters. Different indexes can help scientists to explain many parameters of analysis in a single representation of the water quality but the use of a unique index in different locations around the world will become increasingly distant, especially because of the technological development and the population growth to produce new and different substances. For a better assessment it is necessary to understand what activities are developed and which are the water uses to monitor these environments to choose parameters that help indicate the environmental health, to scale the risks and to show these results to the population and the government for planning ways to mitigate impacts.
