Aplicación de una metodología simplificada para estimar las curvas de capacidad de embalses

<p>In the management of regulation volumes water resource projected for a variety benefits (hydroelectric uses, irrigation, drinking water, among others), it is essential to calculate morphometric variables reservoirs anticipate changes in their morphology and predict how these could affect achievement. In this document, taking into consideration fundamental concepts Integral Calculus, development an innovative methodology presented obtain Cota-Volume Cota-Area curves reservoirs; was formulated R programming language with help geographic information tools. A computational optimization achieved processing level, area volume body respect use traditional methodologies. To validate developed tool, capacity Minas - San Francisco reservoir located south Republic Ecuador were obtained. This designed dislodge its sediments washing processes. fact has motivated continuous monitoring morphological conditions plan maintenance processes due loss deposit particles from tributaries. addition, analysis based on wavelets applied digital elevation models obtained LiDAR techniques bathymetric echo sounder demonstrate sedimentation that occur regulation.</p>
