| Abstract: | The document below is reporting on the initiative to settle the boundaries of the water regimes existing in Latin America and The Caribbean, presenting the recommended methodology and products generated from its first stage. |
| Description: | A standardized methodology applicable to all the Latin American and Caribbean subregions was developed within the project framework. Two types of analisis are included therein: a climatologic data analysis, using average data of the same 30 years period and a temporary variation analysis, using historical precipitation series.
The work process is broken down into the climatologic data collection and precipitation series and their transformation into a format that is compatible with the CIRH software (Agrimed, Universidad de Chile), specifically developed for the project, which automatically calculates several water regime indicators, including, among others, Evapotranspiration, Water Shortage and Surplus, (DH and EH), the Precipitation Concentration Index (PCI) and the Modified Fournier Index (MFI).
The applied methodology is described in more detail in Lobo et al. (2005), which is freely available in CAZALAC’s website at http://www.cazalac.org/mapa_alc_guia.php . |
