The Tecocomulco lagoon, Hidalgo, is a relict of thatbasin and has undergone extreme changes in its size and water composition during geologic periods; however,climatic changes, the deforestation of the sub-basin and the agricultural activities have modified its morphology,area and depth, leading to a great accumulation of sediments that fill up the lagoon. The estimate of changes in thelagoon’s surface through five decades (1975, 1985, 1990, 2001, 2002) was the objective of the present workusing satellite images, jointly with an environmental interpretative analysis. The factors that have modified theTecocomulco lagoon are: climate, the contribution of a high load of sediments to the sub-basin, agriculturalactivities and their interaction, to such a degree that its disappearance is very likely, following the same trend asother lagoons of the Great Basin of Mexico. 2005 artículo científico 0188-4611 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=56905807 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=569 Investigaciones Geográficas (Mx) application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Investigaciones Geográficas (Mx) (México) Num.58
