The problem of global water resources is that they are unevenly distributed. While there are areas, such as South America, which enjoy 26% of global water resources for a 6% of the population and only in the Amazon basin are concentrated on 15% of the global existence. Asia, which accounts for 60% of the world population has only 36% of available fresh water. In this problem is the irresponsibility of humans to contaminate fresh water sources with human activities carried out in order to meet their needs and ambitions of mainly economic nature, which are usually waste and effluent discharges into water channels . Shilcayo River is one of the major rivers crossing the city of Tarapoto, not being involved with this problem that is used in different ways, we could observe well-defined three areas: First, the upper part of the channel where human activity is scarce and basically used as a source of drinking water for public consumption, after their respective treatment. The second zone extends from the catchment to Villa Autonomous human settlement, being used as recreational and leisure area, many people spend their picnic and fishing. Because of population growth of the population, many families are being established outside the river, those who build their silos near the shore or simply dump their wastewater directly into the river, the river used for bathing and washing clothes. Also there are poultry farms and other bed that accumulate along the shore bird whose leachates and drains are vented into the same river. For this reason we have considered this area as the study area, to make an assessment of fecal pollution, in order to contribute to conservation through a real information, which allows the authorities to develop an environmental program, and monitoring. To determine land use and water was carried out surveys to homeowners who are settled outside the river, within the area defined in the study, which identified the sources of pollution. Regarding the assessment of fecal pollution was determined and thermotolerant coliforms through the tube method (MPN). The results of bacteriological tests show that at points 1 and 2 of sampling, water has little fecal contamination that are within the water Quality Standards, which means it can be used for drinking water production and recreation. Points 3 and 4 show a high contamination sampling in excess of Water quality standards, in spite of this, people use water for drinking and recreation, jeopardizing their health. According to the results we propose a monitoring plan will estimate the spatial and temporal evolution of water quality in the middle basin of river Shilcayo also assess the impact of strategies to control contamination of the middle basin river Shilcayo and information as a basis for competent authorities to design programs for integrated management of river basin Shilcayo.
