Estudio hidrometeorológico para estimación de caudales máximos en la Unidad Hídrica Río Blanco de la provincia de Tungurahua

Abstract

The objective of this titling work is the hydrometeorological study for the estimation of maximum flows in the river Blanco hydrographic unit in Tungurahua, through the physical-geographical and hydrometeorological characterization of the river Blanco hydrographic unit, in an area of 38.21 km2 determined in the QGis 10.1 program with cartography of the province of Tungurahua at a scale of 1:50,000. Within chapter one the objectives of the research are presented, as well as its justification, in chapter two the research background of the study is detailed, in chapter three it determines the location of the study, as well as the methodology used, in addition The compilation of hydrometeorological and cartographic information and the methodology for information processing was carried out. In the fourth chapter, the investigation is carried out where an analysis of geomorphological parameters was carried out, analysis of meteorological variables such as relative humidity, average temperature, daily and monthly precipitation, in the same way the determination of evapotranspiration by means of the Thornthwaite method, simultaneously hydrographs will be obtained. of maximum flood through the HEC-HMS program for a return period of 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 years, which is based on the characteristics of the SCS method, since this method provides more accurate results when considering the parameters of the physical characteristics of the water unit and its amount of precipitation, which is used to carry out the Water Balance.
