Resumen:
Protozoological and physicochemical analyses were performed in a waste stabilization pond at Sto. Tomas Atzingo, a small town near Mexico City, in order to discern the internal dynamics of the pond water through the study of the spatial distribution pattern of flagellates and the parallel water volume distribution pattern of some selected physicochemical determined parameters. The statistical method applied to the data obtained was by cluster analysis. The results showed a slight trend to heterogeneity in the system, when it was evaluated through the physicochemically determined parameters. On the other hand, the spatial distribution pattern of the flagellates pointed out a remarkable heterogeneity in the pond. In systems like the one studied where the main feature is an organic matter overload, such a difference in findings indicates a low correlation between the biological parameters, in this case the flagellates, and the physicochemical variables, that should be considered when evaluating the water quality of such systems, either through the physicochemical, the biological or both scopes. © 1988 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
