Although most organisms live in terrestrial environments, the interaction between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems remains crucial. Riparian zones, in particular, provide essential habitats for unique species and facilitate key ecological processes. Water quality is a determining factor for the health of these ecosystems, and its deterioration can seriously affect biodiversity and compromise long-term sustainability.The analysis of water quality in the San José River, in Tegucigalpa, is vital due to its influence on local communities and nearby watersheds. Using statistical tools and Design of Experiments, it has been shown that several parameters exceed the maximum values allowed frequently. This poses serious risks to both human health and the environmental balance. Therefore, it is urgent to implement corrective measures that mitigate these negative impacts and restore water quality. By taking action, you can ensure the protection of aquatic ecosystems and ensure the sustainability of water resources for future generations.  \nKeywords— Water Quality, Water Sampling, PhysicoChemical Parameters, Microbiological Parameters, Statistical Analysis.  \nI. INTRODUCTION  \nWater is vital to life, but in Honduras access to clean water is limited, especially affecting vulnerable populations that rely on untreated river water, increasing the risk of disease and scarcity.  \nThe lack of water in Honduras is a worrying situation, since the amount available does not meet consumption needs, impacting both the domestic and industrial spheres, revealing that more than 50% of the national territory does not have a sufficient water supply. [1]  \nThe environmental problem related to water is critical, especially in Tegucigalpa, the country's capital. Increasing urbanization, deforestation and lack of adequate infrastructure have exacerbated the water crisis. In addition, the discharge of raw sewage, industrial wastes and the expansion of informal settlements contribute to the deterioration of water quality. In addition, climate change and population growth could aggravate the demand for water in the country, making it necessary to optimize river management.  \nThis combination of factors endangers both aquatic ecosystems and public health, requiring urgent and coordinated intervention to protect the water resources of Tegucigalpa and the rest ofthe country.  \nIn this context, this research analyzes the quality of the  \nDigital Object Identifier: (only for full papers, inserted by LACCEI).  \nISSN, ISBN: (to be inserted by LACCEI).  \nDO NOT REMOVE  \nwater specifically of the San José River in Tegucigalpa, evaluating various strategic areas, divided by 4 stations in which the path of the San José River will be analyzed, from where it enters through the southern area of the capital to its mouth.  \nIt is worth mentioning that for this research, appropriate techniques and standards will be used to collect samples, which will be analyzed in the laboratory, under a methodology validated by triangulation of experts.  \nLikewise, this study is crucial given that the San José River is one of the main tributaries of the Choluteca River, which also means an important water supply for the capital. In the same way, climate change and population growth could aggravate the demand for water in the country, making it necessary to optimize the management of river water.  \nIn Honduras,","cbCaihJrlASeIfy9","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihJrlASeIfy9","pdf",659298,10,"English","# Introduction\n## Water scarcity and public health in Honduras\n## Drivers of water quality deterioration in Tegucigalpa\n## Research purpose and study approach","[{\"question\":\"Why is analyzing the San José River water quality in Tegucigalpa important?\",\"answer\":\"It affects local communities and nearby watersheds, and deteriorating conditions can harm public health and compromise biodiversity and long-term sustainability.\"},{\"question\":\"What factors are highlighted as worsening water quality in Tegucigalpa?\",\"answer\":\"Increasing urbanization, deforestation, inadequate infrastructure, discharge of raw sewage and industrial wastes, informal settlements, climate change, and population growth.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the study evaluate the river’s water quality?\",\"answer\":\"It evaluates water quality using samples collected at four stations along the river’s path, applying techniques and standards validated through expert triangulation, and analyzing multiple physico-chemical and microbiological parameters with statistical tools and Design of Experiments.\"}]","Water Index Analysis of the San José River, Tegucigalpa, Honduras | PDF",1790267349]
