Delimitación, Caracterización y Determinación de la cota máxima de inundación y área de protección de Humedales en la jurisdicción de la CAR

Abstract

The Corporación Autónoma Regional (CAR) is the entity in charge of protecting and conservation the wetlands of Cundinamarca, which is why it is necessary to identify the current state of some wetlands located within the Department of Cundinamarca. For the assessment of wetlands, it was necessary to explore and recognize the biotic, abiotic and social environment that make up each body of water. In the evaluation of the wetlands, several bathymetric procedures were carried out to obtain the model of contour lines for the terrestrial surface under the water sheet; With this information a hydraulic modeling was generated that allowed to determine the maximum level of flood of the body of water. The aim of the present project is to show how the combination of several topographic and bathymetric survey techniques allowed the creation of a model of level curves of a given terrain.
