Matamoros, Tamaulipas does not have a treatment system for the wastewater generated locally. The wastewater and rainwater are discharged into open drainages and later drained to a nearby sea. The importance of analyzing the quality of the water in the drain system 20 de Noviembre is because it transports 71 % of the total volume that is generated. This drain system runs across the city from north to south with an approximate length of 12,1km.The analysis was performed according to the described methodology of the official Mexican standard NOM-002-ECOL-1996. As a point of reference on the situation of this body of water across the time, a bibliographical research was conducted by reviewing the files of the state department that is in charge of managing the wastewater and also previously studies done by the Technological Institute of Matamoros. Among the analyzed parameters, it was found that the amount of total suspended solids exceeds 17,3% the maximum permissible limit, and that the fats and oils exceed 17,3% the parameters established by the standard.
