Assessment of the Impacts of Climate Change on Mountain Hydrology

The model was calibrated using a set of standard parameters in the Tablachaca and Corongo sub-basins. The set of parameters made it possible to obtain acceptable results in both sub-basins, despite a significant difference in their sizes: the Corongo sub-basin is approximately 20 percent of Tablachaca’s size. These land use parameters will be applied to all of the model’s sub-basins so that, during the process of implementing the glacier model, it will be possible to achieve the calibration of glacier parameters exclusively. However, there remains a possibility to review the parameters in each sub-basin, in terms of soils if specific information on soils and geology is obtained, or in terms of the sub-basin’s geometry if pa erns are observed suggesting that other characteristics such as size and form may have an effect on the results.
