This collection includes limnological data from the main basins of eastern Jalisco (Mexico), in addition to phytoplankton data from Lake Cajititlán. The biological data belongs to the Institute of Limnology of the University of Guadalajara, while the water quality data were retrieved from the State Water Comission of Jalisco's public website.

The following basins are considered:

Lake Cajititlán (2009 - 2024)

Lake Zapotlán (2009 - 2004)

Río Zula-Lerma (2020 a 2024)

Río Santiago (2009 a 2024)

The dataset contains, for most basins, the following variables:

pH, temperature, transparency, turbidity, deepness.

Dissolved oxygen, conductivity, COD, BOD, alkalinity, suspended and dissolved solids.

Chlorines, fluorides, phosphorus, nitrides, nitrites, sulfides, sulfates, phenols.

Metals (Al, As, Ba, Cd, Cu, Cr, Mn, Mg, Ni, Pb, Na, Zn, Ag).

Fecal coliforms; A, B and C Chlorophylls
