Abstract

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.
