ContribuciĂłn hidrolĂłgica del macizo del Alto Mayo al RĂo Mayo
Durante la expediciĂłn Cerro Blanco 2017, el INGEMMET, junto con el IRD realizĂł el monitoreo de las resurgencias y rĂos del macizo del Alto Mayo. Se realizĂł un monitoreo fĂsico-quĂmico e hidrĂĄulico, para el cual se utilizaron varios mĂ©todos de aforo, como correntĂłmetro electromagnĂ©tico, ADCP y radar, para estimar el caudal de estas fuentes de agua. Los resultados muestran que, para la fecha de la expediciĂłn, los rĂos y resurgencias del Alto Mayo presentan caudales variados, desde 0.1 m3/s (resurgencia de Palestina), hasta 19.5 m3/s (naciente del Rio Negro). Con los valores de caudal obtenidos, se puede estimar que el macizo delAlto Mayo contribuye a mĂĄs de 48 % al caudal del rio Mayo (119 m3/s)

Global karst springs hydrograph dataset for research and management of the worldâs fastest-flowing groundwater
(IF 6.44; Q1)International audienceKarst aquifers provide drinking water for 10% of the worldâs population, support agriculture, groundwater-dependent activities, and ecosystems. These aquifers are characterised by complex groundwater-flow systems, hence, they are extremely vulnerable and protecting them requires an in-depth understanding of the systems. Poor data accessibility has limited advances in karst research and realistic representation of karst processes in large-scale hydrological studies. In this study, we present World Karst Spring hydrograph (WoKaS) database, a community-wide effort to improve data accessibility. WoKaS is the first global karst springs discharge database with over 400 spring observations collected from articles, hydrological databases and researchers. The datasetâs coverage compares to the global distribution of carbonate rocks with some bias towards the latitudes of more developed countries. WoKaS database will ensure easy access to a large-sample of good quality datasets suitable for a wide range of applications: comparative studies, trend analysis and model evaluation. This database will largely contribute to research advancement in karst hydrology, supports karst groundwater management, and promotes international and interdisciplinary collaborations
