Gestión integrada de recursos hídricos. Caso de estudio simulación hidrológica computacional del rio Malacatos en el tramo que atraviesa la parte céntrica de la ciudad de Loja para el análisis de inundaciones

Abstract

Abstract: This study will help to understand the behavior of the Malacatos River within its channeled section in the central part of the city of Loja. This behavior can be determined through an analysis of the upstream watershed of the study area, which allows for the estimation of flood discharges using intensity-duration-frequency equations and effective rainfall data obtained from pluviometric station records. Additionally, a hydraulic study of the open channel is conducted using the HEC-RAS software. By integrating topographic, hydrological, and hydraulic data of the river channel, the flow behavior within the study area can be observed and modeled.
