Abstract
Mexico City is a densely populated area that requires a number of water sou rces to satisfy the demand. The water level in the wells within the city is very low, and the water quality has decreased over the years. The Valle de Brave Reservoir supplies the Los Berros treatment plant (capacity, 9 m(3) s(-1)). This study considers evaluation of V. cholerae in the fish communit y in the reservoir as an indicator of the microbiological water quality.
