Generación del Mapa de Inundación del Río Chicamocha Departamento de Boyacá, Mediante una Aplicación SIG

Abstract

In the present work we intend to determine the areas with the highest risk of flooding in the Rio Chicamocha section that runs through the Municipality of Paipa in the Department of Boyacá, using the specialized ArcGis Software in which analysis of: a) Recovery , With measurements and statistics; B) Superposition, c) Neighborhood, with the generation of the Digital Terrain Model; D) Connectivity with Proximity, which help to quantify damages and thus have the tools for decision making on land use in areas bordering the river. The result of the application is based mainly on the contours (Topography), especially on the slopes, and the mark or flood mark corresponding to the overflow of the Chicamocha river for April 25, 2011, for this reason the plan Of flood to generate is conditioned for this particular event.
