Apoyo técnico en la consolidación y análisis de información hidrometeorológica en los procesos de monitoreo al recurso hídrico en el PNN el Cocuy.

Abstract

El Cocuy National Natural Park in Colombia is not only a stunning natural wonder, but also a vital source of water resources. This vast park encompasses snow-capped mountains, glaciers and pristine lakes, which serve as a crucial water catchment area for the surrounding regions. The park's high-altitude glaciers and wetlands act as natural reservoirs, providing a steady flow of fresh water to nearby communities and supporting a rich variety of aquatic life. In addition, the park's water resources contribute to the regulation of local climates and help maintain ecological balance. For this reason, technical support was provided in the consolidation and analysis of hydrometeorological information in the monitoring processes of Water Resources in the El Cocuy NNP, this through the implementation of a three-stage methodology. First, a compilation and consolidation of existing research and research carried out in the El Cocuy National Park related to water resources and aquatic ecosystems was carried out in order to gather information and establish a database that will allow the research to be compiled. The second stage consisted of generating the hydrological zoning of level II and III and its respective codification implementing the methodology proposed by the IDEAM, likewise, the morphometric analysis of the micro-basins of the Lagunillas River, Concavo River, San Pablín River, Mosco River, Casiano River, of the Cifuentes River sub-basins, Pantano Grande River, Rio Cóncavo and Río Chiscano which form the basin of the Nevado River, this in order to better understand the spatial characteristics and dynamics of water within the park. In the third and final stage, the analysis of some factors such as precipitation, temperature and other meteorological parameters was executed, since, when examining these data, information was obtained on the conditions of the park and its implications for water resources. Finally, being able to carry out each of these stages allowed to fulfill the general objective of this internship, which consisted of providing technical support in the consolidation and analysis of hydrometeorological information in the monitoring processes of Water Resources in the El Cocuy NNP.
