In Latin American civil engineering programs, "Hidrología Básica" serves as a primary bridge between theoretical physics and field application. Luis Reyes Carrasco designed the text to address the unique geographical and climatic challenges of the region, making it highly relevant for local infrastructure projects. Scope and Purpose
Hidrología Básica cubre los componentes esenciales del balance hidrológico. Entre los temas más destacados de su índice se encuentran:
Ayuda a mapear zonas inundables y a planificar el crecimiento urbano lejos de áreas de alto riesgo.
Estudio de la capacidad del suelo para absorber agua y la generación de caudales superficiales que alimentan los ríos durante y después de tormentas.
Published in by Concytec (Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología) in Lima, Peru, Hidrología Básica is a 220-page textbook designed to introduce the fundamental principles of hydrology. It serves as a bridge between basic physics and the complex, real-world challenges of water resource management.
While modern engineers rely heavily on computational software like HEC-RAS or GIS, the formulas detailed in Luis Reyes Carrasco’s text remain the mathematical backbone of those programs. Understanding the underlying manual calculations ensures that engineers can accurately spot errors in computer-generated models, keeping public infrastructure safe and resilient. Share public link
