Devi Silvia is being held without bail after her arraignment Friday on attempted murder and other charges. The arraignment was conducted via video link from a hospital where she's being held for psychological evaluation.
She did not enter a plea.
Prosecutors say she told them she threw her 19-month-old daughter into the chilly water because she was sad, lonely and angry at her husband. The 33-year-old Silvia then jumped in herself.
The mother and daughter were rescued on Tuesday. Prosecutors say the girl is in stable condition.
