The human health is one of the major concerns of man, due to the negative consequences that its neglect brings, in this context, the society as a whole add capabilities to monitor the quality of water sources for human consumption, obtaining in many cases that the counterproductive consequences can be reversed in a timely manner through specific actions that entail enormous human and economic efforts. However, there are places where the sanitation is not a priority, as often happens in remote communities of the metropolis. It is in these circumstances, recognizing the shortcomings of CPM La Libertad that we took the determination to establish and evaluate the quality of groundwater they consume, since it is the only source of supply which provides the fluid element through the distribution network or directly from the well. It was assumed that the local water was contaminated by fecal waste that entered to the stream through leaching, percolation or directly, mainly due to the proximity of the silos with groundwater wells. - For this reason, we proceeded to perform the following activities: a) Pick 3 samples of well water and 3 of the distribution network twice a year to analyze and compare them using microbiological and physical-chemical tests, whose methodology was according to "Standard Methods for Examination of Water and Wastewater 21th edition, 2005 (APHA, AWWA, WPCF). " b) Evaluation of the permeability degree in CPM soil in order to determine the ease or difficulty of soil drainage and thus correlate with the speed or delay of contaminated groundwater via infiltration. The test methodology to determine the soil type was according to the NTP was 339. 128 ASTM - D 422 for sieve analysis and the NTP 339. 134 ASTM - D 2487 of Soil Classification, SUCS System. c) Evaluation of the morbidity rate of the CPM during the years 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 relating to diseases that are caused primarily by the consumption of contaminated water by fecal waste. Data that were provided by the Regional Health Authority-San Martín. It was concluded from the results that the water of the CPM is not suitable for human consumption because it was contaminated by fecal waste. It was also determined that the soil of this community is granular, with high permeability coefficient, which led us to infer, that, therefore, fecal wastes easily reach the stream via infiltration. Regarding the morbidity rate, it was verified that diseases caused primarily by the consumption of water contaminated by fecal waste are increasing each year , which alerted us, this result is consequence of neglect that exists in that CPM. Finally, emphasis should be placed in the primary treatment of this water through residual chlorine with constant monitoring of its quality, since this is a very effective chemical agent to eliminate thermo tolerant bacteria, main causes of the diseases presented in the morbidity .- It is also pertinent to warn people that water need to be boiled before consuming.
