Objective.
To evaluate the bacteriological quality of the water of the wetland Gualí-Tres Esquinas, using residual waters indicators (total coliforms, Escherichia coli and Enterococcus).
Methods.
Fourteen water samples were taken from different points of the wetland (7 in the Tres Esquinas zone and 7 in the Cofradía industrial park zone). The count of microorganisms was made by the membrane filtration method following the Standard Methods, the microorganisms were identified by BBL Crystal.
Results
. The water of the Gualí-Tres Esquinas Wetland contains a high number of E. coli, total coliforms and Enterococcus spp., confirming fecal contamination throughout the ecosystem, the highest counts were found in the La Cofradía industrial park zone for total coliforms and Enteroccocus spp. and in the Tres Esquinas zone for E. coli.
