Hydrological modelling of the “Sierra de las Minas” in Guatemala, by using a conceptual distributed model and considering the lack of data

Abstract: The Biosphere Reserve "Sierra de las Minas" is part of the Guatemalan System of Protected Areas and contains the largest cloud forests of Guatemala. Its southern slopes flow into the Motagua Valley, one of the more active zones in the country and paradoxically, the most arid and driest zone of Central America. We have studied the hydrology of the Teculután Basin on a daily time step, by estimating its hydrological characteristics and using the conceptual distributed model Tetis v. 7.2 developed at the Polytech… Show more

“…The hydrological component of TETIS has already been presented in many literature studies, such as Francés et al (2002Francés et al ( , 2007, Morales de la Cruz and Francés (2008) and Vélez et al (2009). Each cell of the catchment spatial grid is conceptualised by five connected tanks, as shown in Fig.…”

“…A nivel regional, la orografía permite describir que las lluvias decrecen en dirección este -oeste, y la presencia de una "sombra de lluvia" sobre las laderas del sur (que drenan al valle del Motagua), pues las nubes descargan en la cara norte y partes altas de las cuencas y provoca las bajas precipitaciones de mayo a octubre (Brown et al, 1996;FDN, 2003;Holder, 2002Holder, y 2004. En el ámbito de la cuenca se han estudiado y descrito incrementos de la cantidad de lluvia con la altitud (FDN, 2003;Morales-de la Cruz, 2007y 2008.…”
