Abstract

“Trophic state” refers to the amount of organic and inorganic material having a body of water. The aim of this study was to determine the trophic status of the dam El Abrevadero which were recorded for the physicochemical and biological parameters: water tempera­ture, dissolved oxygen, transparency or Secchi disk visibility, chlorophyll “a” and phos­phorus total monthly. We employed Trophic State Index of Carlson (TSI) of calculating the TSI of transparency (TSISD), chlorophyll “a” (TSICA) and total phosphorus (TSIPT). The physi­cochemical parameters showed a pattern of variation associated with the rainy season and dry, with respect to TSI of Carlson dam El Abrevadero is classified as hypereutrophic.
