Estudio de la descarga de la vertiente meridional de Sierra Tejeda (Málaga) mediante el análisis correlatorio y espectral

Abstract

Four river basins in Sierra Tejeda area have been studied by means of the correlation and spectral analysis.

These river basins are formed by marbles and schists in their upper and lower part, respectively. The water comes from runoff mainly generated in the schists and groundwater from springs in the Sierra Tejeda carbonate aquifer. The application of this method to outflow data shows that the hydrographical basins with more extension of low permeability materials (Rubite and Algarrobo) have a scarce inertial behaviour.

While, those river basins with more inertial behaviour (Bermuza and Almanchares basins) present less extension of schists and the most important springs. Consequently, the hydrodynamic behaviour in these rivers are controlled by groundwater and runoff: Bermuza and Almanchares river basins incorporate larger quantity of groundwater than Algarrobo and Rubite basins
