Abstract
TERNEUS-JACOME, Esteban and YANEZ, Patricio. FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES ON WATER QUALITY, THE USE OF AQUATIC BIOINDICATORS AND FLUVIAL ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION IN ECUADOR. La Granja [online]. 2018, vol.27, n.1, pp.36-50. ISSN 1390-8596. https://doi.org/10.17163/lgr.n27.2018.03.
This work was developed as a complement to the ecological restoration component contemplated within the fra- mework of action of the Environmental Management Plan of FONAG (Fund for Water Conservation), an institution attached to the Municipality of Quito. The document is part of the baseline in the creation of a suitable scenario to undertake activities of rivers ecological restoration, where it is necessary. At the municipal level, it is important that the considerations discussed here, as well as initiatives for river restoration, should be inserted as one of the main components within the environmental management plans that each local government (GAD) has to undertake in the territory of its jurisdiction, and it is addressed as an element that requires a permanent monitoring in order to detect the changes in the quality and quantity of water that can be presented in a given area and the corresponding mana- gement actions to be taken.
Keywords : Water quality; Ecuador; bio-indicators; rivers ecological restoration.
