Abstract
Eutrophication is a phenomenon that affects many water bodies around the world. San Roque Dam is not an exception since it has been going through a huge increase in algae concentration. In this framework, its monitoring is a key matter, as is the source of water supply most important of Cordoba city. Remote sensing is a fundamental tool to complement traditional in situ monitoring and understand processes that occur in the reservoir. This study presents a semi-empirical algorithm obtained from MODIS data and in situ chlorophyll -a measurements, provided by the Ministry of Water Resources of Cordoba Province. From this model, a daily time chlorophyll-a time series was obtained from 2001 to 2014. Statistical analysis of the series indicate that water quality of the reservoir has worsened when comparing sets of last (2014-2010) and first (2010-2014) five years.
