| Abstract: |
The Mediterranean regions are prone to suffer extraordinary flash-floods and prolonged droughts. Between these extreme events, there are small floods and droughts that are more common and more predictable. These smaller floods and droughts, along with the others mentioned before generate an extraordinarily complex temporal hydrological picture whose affects have been partly described by different authors, including those affecting the human population. The information compiled during nearly two decades by the group of Ecology of Continental Waters of the University of Murcia, about the effects of these events on rivers of the Segura River Basin, allows for elaborating a conceptual model about the function of several physical, physico-chemical, and biological parameters in rivers in the southwest, in particular and Mediterranean rivers in general. |
| Abstract: |
Las regiones mediterráneas son proclives a sufrir avenidas extraordinarias y sequías prolongadas. Entre estos eventos extremos, se sitúan las crecidas y estiajes más habituales y predecibles que, junto a los anteriores configuran un cuadro hidrológico temporal extraordinariamente complejo cuyos efectos han sido descritos parcialmente por diferentes autores, incluidos aquellos que afectan a la población humana. La información recogida durante casi dos décadas por el Grupo de Ecología de Aguas Continentales de la Universidad de Murcia, sobre los efectos de estos eventos en ríos de la Cuenca del Segura, permite elaborar un modelo conceptual sobre el funcionamiento de distintos parámetros físicos, físico-químicos y biológicos en ríos del sureste, en particular y mediterráneos, en general. |
