Abstract

Technological progress has prompted several sectors to use technology as a support to obtain accurate results and make decisions. The objective was to design and implement a monitoring device that allows measuring the quality of water for human consumption in the Province of Tambopata Puerto Maldonado Interoceanic Corridor. The sample was calculated through simple random sampling between kilometers 98 - 115 visiting the different streams, springs, tubular wells, aguajales, taking the respective water samples, which were then analyzed with the designed and implemented device. In the populated center, the people who have tubular wells more than 30 meters deep, the level of turbidity and pH of the water is less in proportion to the streams, springs, aguajales, etc. We conclude that the water from tributaries of streams, springs, springs, aguajales and that which is on the surface should not be consumed, since there is a level of contamination from different types of heavy materials and contaminants, according to water quality standards, which makes it unfit for human consumption.
