Análisis espacial para el manejo eficiente de cuencas hidrográficas mediante la implementación de los Sistemas de Información Geográfica (SIG).

Abstract

This monograph addresses the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for spatial analysis and efficient watershed management. It examines the main tools and methodologies that allow the collection, processing and visualization of geospatial data, facilitating analysis and decision making in water resources management. Through the implementation of GIS, critical areas of the watershed can be identified, water quality can be assessed, soil erosion can be monitored, and land use can be analyzed, contributing to a more sustainable and efficient management of water resources. In addition, the benefits and challenges of integrating this technology into watershed management are discussed, highlighting its importance in territorial planning, ecosystem conservation, and environmental risk reduction. This study demonstrates how GIS can be a key tool for optimizing water management and promoting more sustainable development practices.
