BELTRAN-ALVAREZ, Rigoberto; RAMIREZ-LOZANO, Juan Pedro  y  SANCHEZ-PALACIOS, Jesús. Temperate and dissolved oxygen of the Picachos reservoir, Sinaloa, Mexico. Hidrobiológica [online]. 2012, vol.22, n.1, pp.94-97. ISSN 0188-8897.

The Picachos reservoir was completed in 2009 impounding the Presidio river, in the southern part of the state of Sinaloa, Mexico, and is located at a height of 75 m above msnmm. He began filling in July of the same year. A limnological study performed with monthly visits to the reservoir between September 2009 and August 2010 showed that it behaves like a warm monomíctic lake, with complete mixing between December and February and thermal stratification during the rest of the year, and with an anoxic hipolimnion during thermal stratification.

Palabras llave : Picachos; Reservoir; thermal stratification and oxygen; monomictic lake.
