“…The Carlson Modified Trophic State Index indicated that the trophic state of the ALM reservoir was mesotrophic (40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48)(49)(50). This conclusion was based on the nitrogen, phosphorous, and chlorophyll-a concentrations and Secchi disk depths measurements.…”

“…using Equations (1)-(4) with the mean values of chlorophyll-a, total phosphorus, total nitrogen, and Secchi disk depth (SD) during the study period (2012-2018). According to the CMTSI obtained, results indicate that the trophic state of the ALM reservoir was maintained as mesotrophic (40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48)(49)(50) over time ( Figure 7) [30]. The value of the CMTSI was similar in the four sampling sites.…”

A water quality study was carried out at the Adolfo López Mateos (ALM) reservoir, one of the largest tropical reservoirs in Mexico, located within an intensive agricultural region. In this study, the seasonal and spatial variations of nine water quality parameters were evaluated at four different sites along the reservoir semiannually over a period of seven years (2012–2018), considering the spring (dry) and fall (rainy) seasons. An analysis of variance was performed to compare the mean values of the water quality parameters for the different sampling sites. Then, a multiparametric classification analysis was carried out to estimate the spatial density of the sampling points by using a probabilistic neural network (PNN) classifier. The observations (seasonal and spatial) of the water quality parameters at the ALM reservoir revealed no significant influence. The trophic status was evaluated using the Carlson Modified Trophic State Index, finding the trophic state of the reservoir at the mesotrophic level, with nitrogen being the limiting nutrient. The PNN revealed neural interactions between total suspended solids (TSS) and the other four parameters, indicating that the concentration ranges of five parameters are equally distributed and classified.

Agricultural activities are highly related to the reduction of the availability of water resources due to the consumption of freshwater for crop irrigation, the use of fertilizers and pesticides. In this study, the water quality of the Adolfo López Mateos (ALM) reservoir was evaluated. This is one of the most important reservoirs in Mexico since the water stored is used mainly for crop irrigation in the most productive agricultural region. A comprehensive evaluation of water quality was carried out by analyzing the behavior of 23 parameters at four sampling points in the period of 2012-2019. The analysis of the spatial behavior of the water quality parameters was studied by spatial distribution graphs using the Inverse Distance Weighting interpolation. Pearson correlation was performed to better describe the behavior of all water quality parameters. This analysis revealed that many of these parameters were significantly correlated. The Principal Components Analysis (PCA) was carried out and showed the importance of water quality parameters. Ten principal components were obtained, which explained almost 90% of the total variation of the data. Additionally, the comprehensive pollution index showed a slight water quality variation in the ALM reservoir. This study also demonstrated that the main source of contamination in this reservoir occurs near sampling point one. Finally, the results obtained indicated that a contamination risk in the waterbody and further severe ecosystem degradations may occur if appropriate management is not taken.

“…Para el gobierno federal y estatal, es difícil controlar esta contaminación porque proviene de escurrimientos superficiales y no existe industria, finca o municipio que vierta sus desechos en la Presa Adolfo López Mateos (Quevedo-Castro et al, 2019). Los principales contaminantes de la presa son material orgánico biodegradable, contaminación fecal difusa y material particulado disuelto que provoca variaciones en la turbidez del agua (Quevedo-Castro et al, 2019). Se trata de una contaminación normal que se produce por los escurrimientos superficiales de las inmediaciones de la Presa Adolfo López Mateos.…”

"Innovación y gobernanza para el desarrollo sustentable en México" contribuye a los temas de la industria inteligente y tecnologías emergentes, transformaciones sociales y sustentables. En nuestra visión, el desarrollo sustentable de las sociedades se basa de manera crucial en la evaluación y mejora de la interacción entre los recursos naturales, sociales y técnicos. El desafío del desarrollo sustentable sólo puede ser manejado por su coevolución productiva. El presente libro busca investigar cómo dichos procesos pueden ser apoyados por enfoques de gobernanza, basados en una comprensión más profunda de cómo y cuándo ocurren las innovaciones sustentables y pueden conducir a las llamadas “transiciones”. En particular, el libro se centra en la investigación fundamental y aplicada sobre la gobernanza, la dinámica institucional y de gestión de los recursos naturales, sociales y técnicos, así como su interacción. Dentro de esta complejidad, nuestra investigación propone una relación estrecha con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible de la Agenda 2030 de las Naciones Unidas.
