These waters obtained from each fraction were subjected to a process of coagulation-flocculation-sedimentation on a laboratory scale using aluminum sulfate as a coagulant, wherein the hydrophilic fraction (CHA and NEU) was poorly removed (< 35 %) in comparison with the hydrophobic one (> 65 %). Surrogate parameters were used to characterise this MON such as dissolved organic carbon (COD), colour, ultraviolet absorbance (UV254) and specific ultraviolet absorbance (SUVA). Determination of SUVA values indicates a mixture of hydrophobic and hydrophilic organic matter in both raw waters as their values of specific ultraviolet absorbance (SUVA) were between 2-4 L/mg-m; however the hydrophobic fraction (MH + LH) was the predominant one, 63.6 % and 65 % measured as COD in dry season for Boaco and Juigalpa respectively, in rainy season, the percentage were a little higher (71.2 % and 66.1 %). Finally, it was found that the river water (Boaco) contains higher concentrations of trihalomethanes (89-166 米g/L) than the water lake (Juigalpa) (28-80 米g/L) after being chlorinated. Found that the hydrophobic fraction was the major contributor in 68.5 % (Boaco) and 78.6 % (Juigalpa) to the formation of trihalomethanes for dry season in both treated water. In rainy season, the THMs formation were a little higher.

Las aguas obtenidas de cada fracci車n fueron sometidas a un proceso de coagulaci車n-floculaci車n-sedimentaci車n a escala de laboratorio usando sulfato de aluminio como coagulante; donde la fracci車n hidrof赤lica (CHA y NEU) fue poco removida (< 35 %) en comparaci車n con la hidrof車bica (> 65 %).
