Water bodies located near cattle breeding grounds and agricultural land are susceptible to being contaminated by misuse. This represents a danger to vegetation and public health, for this reason it is important to identify where this contamination pattern is present so that it can be remedied and prevent direct harm to the population. To obtain characterizations of environmental and ecological conditions, it would be convenient the use of bioindicators for aquatic and wetland ecosystems. Chemical and biological assessment using methods that involve bioindication and biomonitoring is planned used to study the impacts of external factors on an ecosystem and for differentiating polluted and unpolluted areas. The results will be compared with the standard parameters established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for good quality water.
