Modelación de base de la distribución temporal de un evento de lluvia intensa ocurrido sobre la quebrada de Cunduana, perteneciente al cantón Riobamba, provincia de Chimborazo.

Abstract

The investigation was carried out in the Cunduana Creek, Province of Chimborazo, Riobamba City, due to intense episodes of rain, provoked in previous years, where a collapse of the sewerage system originated. Therefore, it was necessary to carry out a study within the area and determine a model of an intense rainfall episode using computer programs such as: ARCGIS and HEC-HMS, in order to create simulations to prevent this type of catastrophe in the area's sewerage system. By collecting information and planning processes, a morphometric characterization of the Cunduana creek basin was obtained, which corresponds to a hydrological sector with an area of 6.71 km2, with a gradient of 89.91 m/m. The maximum flows generated in the hydrograph of the Cunduana Creek basin are fundamental for the design of structures that allow the protection of the inhabitants against flooding events, which if they occur and do not have any work or structure that allows its regulation, would negatively affect their quality of life.
