Abstract

This article shows the results of the hydrologic analysis of watersheds of rivers Sinú, Aracataca, and Foundation. The characteristics and variability of river inputs (flow and sediment transport) and historical trends to identify regional patterns in fluvial dynamics were evaluated.

Records of flow and sediment transport were taken of the Institute Hydrologic and Studies Environmental (IDEAM), to perform a statistical analysis of the time series of sediment transport and flow. Sediment transport and stream flow, were show highly dependent, while the dual-mass curves helped to identify the influence of external factors on sediment transport. The dynamic of the basins Fundación and Aracataca, showed máximum events with return periods of 2 and 10 years, while the Sinú River fluvial dynamics was maintained regular due to the influence URRÁ dam. The basins were subject to weather conditions equal, which explains the behavior recorded.
