Proceso técnico utilizando sistemas de información geográfica para delimitar y georreferenciar la microcuenca del río Moro Moro del cantón Piñas

Abstract

Geographic information systems (GIS) have become a tool for the georeferencing of hydrographic basins. The use of spatial data for hydrological modeling arose from the great capacity of GIS tools to store and manage data associated with the hydromorphology of the basin. Manual manipulation of maps has always posed difficulties in analyzing and designing large-scale water resources projects. Therefore, the coupling of the hydrological model in the GIS environment has gained significant interest for surveying. The objective of the research is to describe a technical procedure using geographic information systems to delimit and georeference the micro-basin of the Moro Moro river in the Piñas canton. In the methodological, the descriptive method was used to know the processes that must be followed for the new shape layers through raster data, for which scientific articles were used in addition to going to government institutions to provide data that contribute to the study. The selected model allows to know the processes that must be followed to georeference a micro-basin, useful information for students and professionals of environmental management.
