Regionalization of maximum daily Rainfall in the Boyacá department

Abstract

Climate change has generated alterations in hydrometeorological variables behavior, accentuating extreme events, especially those related to precipitation, which is a key phenomenon in the design and planning of territorial hydraulic structures. This research shows the rainfall regionalization in the department of Boyacá, Colombia, through the application of Cluster and Andrews Curve and validation of L-moments, as input for a hydroclimatological characterization that can feed hydrological methods or models in the region, resulting in 8 homogeneous areas of maximum annual precipitation.
