It was carried out an analysis of the results of the physic-chemical and bacteriological samplings in the evaluated points. As a result of the study was determined that the waters are affected in many of the observed points, with danger of salinity with high values of electric conductivity and of toxicity to the crops due to the high tenors of sodium and chlorine in the sources corresponding to the dairies 5-29 and 12-11 and the well 1 of the dairy 12-2 used for the irrigation, and the presence of nitrates and fecal contamination in the sources dedicated to the human consumption in the dairies, being concluded that it will be necessary to apply measures that allow to improve the quality of the underground waters.
