  abstract = {{T}he {T}iticaca {L}ake is the most important water resource over the {A}ndean plateau and the ecological equilibrium of this region is nowadays perturbed by recent changes in land use and management practices. {T}he {K}atari watershed encompasses mining area, cities representing over 1.2 million habitants, and agricultural zones before ending in {C}ohana bay in the {T}iticaca {L}ake. {C}ohana {B}ay is known to be one of the most eutrophic bay of the {T}iticaca {L}ake. {T}he objective of the study was to evaluate the impact of anthropic activities along the watershed on the river quality and on the bacterial diversity. {B}oth mining activities and release of wastewater in river systems impacts greatly the surface water quality, with level of {A}s exceeding limits for drinking water, and phosphate over the {E}uropean guidelines for bad quality rivers. {A}ntibiotic from the sulfonamide family was detected in the watershed in high concentrations downstream of the two main cities and bacterial resistance occurred in nearly all the sampled water points.},
