  Magdalena River is a superficial water body from Colombia, which flows into the Caribbean Sea. Dragging with it elements with diverse chemistry nature throughout the watercourse. Similarly, one of its most flowing current arm of the river, known as the Dique Channel, capture minerals, organic matter, clays and metals. Both Magdalena River and Dique Channel finally slop their water stream into the coast of Barranquilla and Cartagena bay, respectively. The presence of metallic species in dynamic aquatic structures e.g., rivers) and coasts that interact inwardly (sediments-atmosphere-water) triggers variations on the densities from heavy metals existing onto the water. Due to the heavy metal fluctuations given in estuary and marine systems, the annual behavior of Pb, Cr, Cu and Total Hg from Dique Channel was determinate during 2006-2010. The aim of this study is to complement the tracin.. Read More»
