This document summarizes a study on assessing water quality in the Alento and Foro Rivers based on macroinvertebrate fauna. Students sampled two sites on each river and identified macroinvertebrate groups to determine a biotic index score for each site. On the Alento River, the periurban site received a score of 6-7 (yellow class) while the mountain site was 10-11 (blue class). On the Foro River, the periurban site scored 4-5 (orange class) and mountain site was 10-11 (blue class). Various causes of water pollution were identified for each area, including civil, industrial and agricultural activities, and suggestions were provided for solutions to reduce pollution.
