| description |
Morphometric studies provide information on the hydrological functioning in a basin. The objective of the present study was to determine morphometric parameters in the sub-basin of the PáezRiver, located in the province of Cartago, Costa Rica, necessary for land use planning within thebasin and its proper management. Morphometric construction was based on the 1:10,000 scale contour lines available for the Gran Area Metropolitana (translated as the Greater Metropolitan Area)and geographic information systems utilized to digitalize contour lines, drainages and watershed.Resulting from the morphometric analysis, a sub-basin area of 28.34 km2 and perimeter distanceof 47.4270 km were estimated. The sub-basin is comprised of 22 micro-basins and overall exhibitsa form factor value of 0.1171, thus indicating an elongated sub-basin. A compactness coefficientvalue of 2.4942 indicates an elongated basin. The sub-basin exhibits a concave hypsometric curve,where the peak of its altimetry distribution corresponds to altitudes between 3315 m and 980 m.The slope parameter has an average value of 29.3% slope. It is evident the role played by the PáezRiver sub-basin for the development of productive activities and water supply of some localities inthe province of Cartago. |

El objetivo del estudio fue determinar parámetros morfométricos en la subcuenca del rioPáez, Cartago necesarias para planificación de las actividades de la cuenca y para un apropiado manejo. La construcción de la morfometría se basó en las curvas de nivel del Gran Área Metropolitana,escala 1:10000, y utilizando los Sistemas de Información Geográfica, se realizó la digitalización delas curvas de nivel, los drenajes y el parteaguas. Resultado del análisis morfométrico, se obtiene unárea de 28,34 km2 y un perímetro de 47,4270 km. Está compuesta por 22 microcuencas, un factorde forma de 0,1171indicando una subcuenca alargada. Un coeficiente de compacidad de 2,4942,indicando que es una cuenca elongada. Muestra una curva hipsométrica de tipo cóncava, donde elpico de la distribución altimétrica corresponde con las altitudes entre los 3315 m y los 980 m. Elparámetro pendiente con un valor de 29,3% de pendiente promedio. Es evidente la función quecumple la subcuenca para el desarrollo de las actividades productivas y para el abastecimiento deagua potable en algunos sitios Cartago.Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica2021-03-12info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionEvaluado por paresartículo originalhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdftext/htmlapplication/epub+ziphttps://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/geografica/article/view/1409810.15359/rgac.67-2.5Revista Geográfica de América Central.; Vol. 2 No. 67 (2021): Revista Geográfica de América Central; 147 - 168Revista Geográfica de América Central.; Vol. 2 Núm. 67 (2021): Revista Geográfica de América Central; 147 - 168Revista Geográfica da América Central; v. 2 n. 67 (2021): Revista Geográfica de América Central; 147 - 1682215-25631011-484Xreponame:Portal de Revistas UNAinstname:Universidad Nacional de Costa Ricainstacron:UNAspahttps://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/geografica/article/view/14098/21168https://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/geografica/article/view/14098/21169https://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/geografica/article/view/14098/21170Derechos de autor 2021 María Alvarez Jiménez, Pablo Ramírez-Granados, Kevin Alfaro-Jiménez, Ligia Dina Solís-Torres, José Castro-Solísacceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-07-02T00:01:47Zoai:www.revistas.una.ac.cr:article/14098Portal de revistashttp://revistas.una.ac.cr/Universidadhttp://www.una.ac.crhttps://revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/index/oaiandrea.mora.campos@una.crCosta RicaNo aplicaNo aplicaNo aplicaopendoar:2021-07-02T00:01:47Portal de Revistas UNA - Universidad Nacional de Costa Ricafalse |
