Opis

Mexican limnological studies, with a history of about 100 years, have gained importance in teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate levels and research. Rapid industrialization and urbanization has resulted in pollution in many inland waterbodies, some of which have even intentionally been made into terrestrial zones.
