Resumen

Muchos ecosistemas urbanos son sitios con estresores fuertes que modifican sustancialmente la calidad del agua. Aunque las pruebas para evaluar la calidad del agua suelen ser físico-químicas, el incluir componentes biológicos puede proporcionar información relevante. El lago de Chalco, que se encuentra en la frontera entre la Ciudad de México y el Estado de México, interactúa con la población humana circundante. En este trabajo, investigamos algunos parámetros de calidad del agua y la comunidad de macroinvertebrados que viven en él. De enero a octubre del 2017, muestreamos alrededor de la orilla del lago en 4 áreas. Registramos la concentración de NH4 +, NO3-N, NO2-N, P
total, Zn, Cu2+, POR, OD, SDT, conductividad y pH. Adicionalmente, caracterizamos la riqueza, composición y abundancia de la comunidad de macroinvertebrados. Existió variación temporal y espacial en los parámetros físicoquímicos, probablemente debido a la actividad agrícola alrededor del lago. Sin embargo, la calidad del agua no pudo ser colocada en alguna de las 4 categorías que establece la ley nacional. Cuatro de 20 RTU’s de macroinvertebrados estuvieron significativamente correlacionados con las variables ambientales, pero no se puede sugerir su uso como bioindicadores. En general, la calidad del agua es mala para actividades humanas.
