Sistema de monitoreo y control para la previsión de inundaciones frente al cambio climático y el fenómeno del Niño

Abstract

Abstract: Floods are phenomena that are developed by the conjunction of natural factors such as relief, hydrogeology of the basin and anthropic factors such as deforestation and induced erosion. To prevent floods in Ecuador and avoid human and material losses, we have worked on the design of a computer tool that processes hydrological data in real time. The result is the GESTINA software (Integral Water Management), a universal tool to anticipate floods. The basin of the city of Loja has been considered to calibrate the model that is crossed by the Malacatos, Zamora Huayco and Zamora rivers. The variables of the tributaries are entered from the digital terrain model, thus creating a computer prototype so that with each entry of a real-time precipitation data in the database, the software is updated by translating the information at the flow rate and determining the sheet of water and the time it will take the sectors of the.
