is a protected natural area (ANP) located in the municipality of San Miguel Allende, Guanajuato in this ANP is an artificial wetland that is the habitat of a large number of organisms and whose water resource is important for the use and human consumption. At present, anthropogenic activities have caused the contamination of the wetland and knowing the quality of the water it contains has become a priority, however, conventional analyzes to determine the quality of the water are usually costly and complex. For this reason the implementation of bioindicator organisms to estimate the quality of the water resource can be an excellent alternative because these organisms make it possible to know, analyzing and quantifying the state of a body of water and its components in a simple and low-cost way (from Lanza Espino, 2000a). In this study, the water quality of the wetland was determined based on bioindicators, through bibliographic research, field sampling and the implementation of the BMWP index (Biological Monitoring Working Party) modified by Pineda . Various organisms were identified and classified, from which thirty-one bioindicator organisms were selected, among them twenty-four are macroinvertebrates (seventeen from the insecta group, two from Crustacea, three Mollusca and two Annelida), two fish, two birds, one reptile and two plants. aquatic, thanks to this it was possible to estimate the quality of the water inside the wetland. In general, the wetland presented a value of 100 according to the BMWP index, classifying it as regular quality water, eutrophy, moderate pollution; In addition, the wetland was delimited into five zones for sampling, the best quality zone was the one with a value of 86 according to the BMWP index, classified as water of regular quality, eutrophic, contaminated; followed by zone five with a value of 47 (poor quality water, contaminated); subsequently, zone two and four with values of 31 and 22, respectively (poor quality water, highly contaminated); and finally zone three with a value of seven (very poor quality water, extremely contaminated). This quality can originate due to the different pollutants from industry, livestock, agriculture and domestic activities, which are discharged into the body of water through river runoff. Finally, macroinvertebrates were the best bioindicators due to their abundance, easy handling and collection, as well as the fact that their presence or absence allows estimating water quality in an easy and economical way.
