Aplicación de los SIG en el manejo de cuencas hidrográficas.

Abstract

The Geographic Information systems are applied to hydrological basins, as a tool for the determination of physiographic characteristics, be they surfaces, slopes, drainage network, forms among other things, for this reason variables such as soil loss, planning, hydraulic management, sediment and contaminant transport, hydraulic modeling, hydraulic management, modeling to determine areas where there is a possibility of flooding and drought, climate changes, land use changes, among others. For this reason, the present work has the purpose of presenting the tools that allow the GIS to be carried out, and how it can be mitigated or prevented, implementing precision estimates to avoid problems.
