Water quality from common use springs, in a rural community: Las Ánimas, Tecoanapa, State of Guerrero, Mexico
Abstract Macroinvertebrates as indicators, are an alternative that is adequate to measure the mountain springs water quality and, the environmental changes in ecosystems, product of the anthropogenic activities that impact on the ground. We determined the FBI-ANIMAS index of water quality through the biological index, taking into consideration aquatic insect communities like FBI-PR index, These new index combines the tolerance values with the abundance of each family and the total number of individuals. The Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated to measure the association between the families like indicators. It was observed that FBI-ANIMAS index was adjusted to the physicochemical characterization of the mountain springs and to Disolved Oxigen amounts present in them. The FBI-ANIMAS index for the mountain springs (M1, M2, M3, M4 and M6) was in the numeric parameters from 4 to 1, which indicates that they have regular to excellent quality waters, conversely, mountain spring M5, it remained in poor quality.
