Abstract:
Lake Cajititlán is a shallow water body located in an endorheic basin in western Mexico at 1551 m a.s.l. The surface area is 1744 ha, maximum storage volume achieved is 70.89 Hm3, and maximum depth is 5.4 m at its maximum capacity. The lake has experienced significant changes in its level because of drought conditions in recent years. Because the lake has shallow features and is settled in a closed basin with rapid population growth, the lake water has suffered severe anthropogenic contamination causing damages in its intrinsic esthetic, social, environmental, and economic values.

States of Water
Water freezes when the intermolecular forces are greater than the kinetic energy. Unlike most other substances, water is less dense in its solid state than in its liquid state. This is because each water molecule can form...
Quality Control
Quality control helps track data, visualize trends, and identify variations, making it easier to detect deviations that may affect the accuracy of an analysis. One way to do this is by generating a quality control chart, which...
