Sumario:The knowledge about the quantity, quality and dynamics of water resources is one of the key points to move towards their integrated management. The aim of this work was to characterize the water dynamics of the Lago del Fuerte reservoir basin, in the city of Tandil, and carry out a hydrological balance of the water body in order to generate basic information for decision-making and for future researchs. The lake has presented eutrophication problems. It is located in a hilly watershed, which has undergone land use changes in recent years. The methodology combined the use of previous information, field measurements and hydrological parameters estimations. The surface and groundwater dynamics of the basin were evaluated, and the hydrological balance of the lake was determined. The main water income was superficial, through tributary streams, while to a lesser extent water entered by groundwater and by direct precipitation. Most of the water exited through the dam and a smaller proportion through evaporation. The inlet volumes were similar to the outlet volumes, despite the excess water for the period, with negligible storage variation, due to the type of discharge from the dam.
