      Surface water resources in Peru show high spatio-temporal variability, being the prediction of streamflow at ungauged sites, one of the fundamental challenges today. This research presents a methodology for regional ...

    • Monthly semi-distributed hydrological model at national scale in Peru 

      Llauca, Harold; Lavado-Casimiro, W.; Montesinos Cáceres, Cristian Albert; Rau, Pedro

      (European Geosciences Union, 2020)
      Acceso abierto
      Surface water resources in Peru are heterogeneously distributed in three drainage areas (Pacific, Titicaca, and Atlantic), and their quantification is relevant for planning in economic activities such as water supply and ...

    • Implementation of a flood forecasting system in a transboundary river basin, Peru – Ecuador 

      Leon, Karen; Acuña Azarte, Julia; Llauca, Harold; Lavado-Casimiro, W.; Suarez, Wilson; Ordoñez, Jorge; Felipe-Obando, Oscar
