Abstract
Batimetric and morphometric characteristics of La Fe reservoir are described. Theoretical predictions are derived from morphometrical parameters and shape elements. The shore development index (F = 2.25) shows a more or less dendritic system. In accordance with the values of the volume development index (Dv = 1.05), La Fe reservoir has a conical basin with a slightly convex shape and several inflection points (SCx-micro). The values of relative depth (Dr = 2.07%) and effective fetch (Lr = 5.9 x 10^3 km) show a waterbody with a reduced road for wind action and considerable depth at the sampling point. It is predicted that La Fe reservoir is a freshwater system with thermal stability, considerable light penetration and allotrophy, low productivity, mixing restricted to the first meters of the water column, and a widely developed littoral zone.
