  • Abstract
    Metal concentrations have been measured in water and sediments of the Jose Antonio Alzate Reservoir, Mexico, using EDXRF and ICP techniques. Spatial and temporal distributions of total metal levels have been identified; no organised pattern was detected for any particular metal concentration. Temporal variations of metal concentrations show evidence of the water self-cleaning capacity of the reservoir, despite the high-level metal contamination determined.
