Here is located in the infrastructure Bocana laboratory that emerged with the need to take samples of this body of water to analyze, but is currently abandoned by EPA, subject to improvements. As an intern, a meticulous study was carried out in the facilities of the bocana marsh of the Bocana Laboratory virgin to verify the current conditions in which it is located; taking into account the infrastructure, equipment and personnel.
