APROXIMACION, POR EL METODO DE THORNTHWAITE, AL CALCULO DE INFILTRACION DE LLUVIA UTIL
Abstract
This paper tries to work out an approximate estimate of useful rain infiltration, applying for purpose the Thornthwaite method, that is, using daily temperature and rainfall data instead of monthly ones; because in regions where there are heavy rainfalls during a few days, average results would minimize the rain that does infiltrate, in spite of low average results. We have also tried to determine the amount of water actually absorbed by the soil, which is a basic factor to be able to calculate the real evapotranspiration, and afterwads the useful rain. We have used the data of several hydrological years taken from the National Red Pluviométrica, Totana Presa del Paretón: we used an hypothetical cytrus plantation in order to achieve an approximate hydric balance. However, we must bear in mind that only the setting up of experimental plots will achieve results that are nearer to realityDownloads
