Climatic Variability Patterns Associate to Water Resource Management Systems

摘要

Patterns of climatic variability were established between 1977 and 2013, associated to water management systems, in the jurisdiction of the Bucaramanga Regional Autonomous Corporation (CDMB). Flow, precipitation and temperature data obtained from the CDMB and of the Hydrology, Meteorology and Environmental Studies of Colombia (IDEAM) were used. For the evaluation of the current water management system, the Management System Evaluation Index (IESG) was constructed, which evaluated the Regional Environmental Management Plan (PGAR), the Hydrological Basin Management and Management Plan (POMCA), and the Triennial Action Plan (PAT). A conceptual model of a management system supported by climatic variability was designed. It was found that during the first semester of the year, seasonal and inter annual temperature variations have a direct relation with precipitation and flow, and generally respond to the climatic conditions of the country. The current environmental management system responds to a compendium of norms and adaptations of instruments of the national order, mediated by the individual efforts towards the achievement of goals. The management model designed at a seasonal scale, has as a strength that is a support tool for making decision in the water management of the CDMB, which allows to differentiate between climatic times.
