Caudales específicos característicos de Sierra Nevada (Granada y Almería); metodología de estimación de recursos hídricos

Abstract

A regression analysis o f specific discharge is used to w a te r resources assessment o f the Sierra Nevada. The specific discharges measured were wide-ranging and correlated well with precipitation. The maximum and minimum values obtained were of 15 l/s/km2 for the Genii basin (western third of the mountain range) and of 1.5 l/s/km2 for the Andarax area (at the eastern end). The mean resources measured were of 550 hm3/yr, not including anthropic consumption within the limits of thé Sierra Nevada or groundwater runoff
