Introduction: the final disposal of municipal solid waste is a current environmental and sanitary problem. Objective: the objective of the research was to analyze the dispersion of contamination in bodies of water by leachates from the Curgua garbage dump, Canton Guaranda - Ecuador. Methodology: water samples were collected at different points: at the entrance to the freshwater body located 60 m from the source, which is point 2; then at 500 m, 1.5 km, 2 km and 3 km. The analysis was carried out in triplicate for 3 weeks. Physical-chemical analyses were performed according to HACH methodology. The dynamics of the concentration of the main compounds was determined according to the sampling points. Results: the values of the main statistics of the quality parameters analyzed the average, standard deviation and coefficient of variation are presented. It was found that as the distance from the point of origin increases, the values of the parameters decrease partially, but persist, which causes the constant presence of contamination in the freshwater body. Conclusions: There is a correlation between some parameters, due to the type and physical, chemical and biological composition of the waste generated. This fact increases the risk of maintaining and even increasing pollution in times when the generation of solid waste can be directly influenced. General area of study: Environmental Sciences. Specific area of study: Waste management and disposal. Type of study: Original article
