Calidad del agua agua residual planta de tratamiento de agua. To this day, the city of Heroica Matamoros, Tamaulipas does not have a treatment system for the wastewater generated locally. The wastewater and rainwater are discharged into open drainages and later drained to a nearby sea. The importance of analyzing the quality of the water in the drain system Veinte de Noviembre is because it transports 71% of the total volume that is generated. This drain system runs across the city from north to south with an approximate length of 12.1 km. The analysis was performed according to the described methodology of the official Mexican standard NOM-002-ECOL- 1996. As a point of reference on the situation of this body of water across the time, a bibliographic research was conducted by going trough the files of the state department that is in charge of managing the wastewater and also previously studies done by the Technological Institute of Matamoros. According to the parameters to evaluate water quality, it was found that the amount of total suspended solids was two times higher than the permissible limits, and that the fats and oils are less than 1% over than the parameters established by the standard. To take advantage of the maximum use of this water, the installation of a water treatment plant is recommended, so the treated water can be later use in irrigation and public services. Actualmente la ciudad de Matamoros, Tamaulipas, carece de un sistema de tratamiento de las aguas residuales generadas en la localidad. Estas aguas y el agua de lluvia son descargadas en drenajes a cielo abierto y, posteriormente, enviadas al mar. La importancia de analizar la calidad del agua en el drenaje Veinte de Noviembre radica en que éste transporta el 71% del caudal total generado. Dicho drenaje tiene un recorrido a través de la ciudad de norte a sur y una longitud aproximada de 12.1 kilómetros. El análisis se llevó a cabo según la metodología en campo y laboratorio de la norma oficial mexicana NOM-002- ECOL-1996. Para tener una referencia sobre la situación de este cuerpo a través del tiempo se realizó una investigación bibliográfica en los archivos del organismo estatal encargado del manejo de las aguas residuales y en los estudios realizados con anterioridad por el Instituto Tecnológico de Matamoros. Dentro de los parámetros que nos permiten evaluar la calidad del agua, se encontró que los sólidos suspendidos totales son el doble de lo permitido y las grasas y aceites se encuentran en menos de 1% por encima de lo establecido por la norma. Para el máximo aprovechamiento de estas aguas se recomienda una planta de tratamiento de agua fuera de la mancha urbana para su posterior uso en riego y servicios públicos.
