          Abstract

          Se evaluó la calidad sanitaria del lago urbano de Huayamilpas, como parte de un programa de rehabilitación enfocado al restablecimiento de las condiciones adecuadas para la introducción de especies nativas de peces. Se determinaron mensualmente durante el ciclo 1997-1998, los Números Más Probables de bacterias coliformes totales (C. T.), fecales (C. F.) y estreptococos fecales (E. F.), en agua y sedimento con el método de tubos múltiples, en el cuerpo lacustre y los aportes. En estos, las C. T. rebasaron los niveles recomendables para la recreación con contacto primario hasta en un 83% de los casos; y las C. F. superaron las normas para la protección de la vida acuática hasta en un 67%. En el cuerpo lacustre los E. F. rebasaron estos límites hasta en un 55%. Las concentraciones de bacterias en sedimento fueron en promedio 100 veces más altas que en agua, llegando a ser 300 en los aportes. Se identificaron tres secciones: el cuerpo lacustre principal, con menor porcentaje de muestras contaminadas (C. T. 5%, C. F. 11%, E. F. 28%); el cuerpo lacustre anexo, con niveles intermedios (C. T. y C. F. 20%, E. F. 60%) y los aportes (C. T. 77%, C. F. 61%, E. F. 85%), con altos niveles. La mala calidad sanitaria en estos se atribuyó a la entrada esporádica de agua residual. La contaminación por E. F. se asoció a la presencia de aves. Este indicador es relevante para reincorporar las especies nativas de peces. La calidad sanitaria puede mejorarse; evitando la contaminación de los aportes antes de su vertimiento al lago y se recomienda el control de la población de aves.

          The water sanitary quality was evaluated following a restoration program for native fish species introduction in an urban lake, Huayamilpas. The Most Probable Number of total coliforms (T. C.), fecal coliforms (F. C.) and streptococci (F. S.) were determinate as indicator organisms in water and sediment every month (1997-1998) at the main pond and the inflows. The T. C. bacteria were above the limits for recreation water (in 83% of the samples), the F. S. group was above the norm for aquatic life organisms protection (in the 67% in the inflows), the F. S. bacteria were 55% over those limits on the samples from the pond. The bacteria concentrations in sediments were 100 times greater than in the column of the pond, and 300 higher than the inflows. Three sections could be identified: the main pond with low percentage of contaminated samples (T. C. 5%, F. C. 11%, F. S. 28%); the secondary pond with intermediate levels (T. C. and F. C. 20%, F. S. 60%); and the inflows (T. C. 77%, F. C. 61%, F. S. 85%) with the highest levels. The poor bacteriological quality of the inflows was attributed to the sporadic drainage of domestic wastewater. The F. S. contamination was associated to the presense of the birds. F. S. is a relevant indicator to considerate for the fish introduction of native species. Water quality can be improved by avoiding the contamination by the water inflows prior to its entry to the lake, and by the recommendation of controlling bird population.
