Abstract

Although Uruguay has an abundant water supply, the increase of water demand together with the increase atmospheric demand and climate variability (associated with climate change), calls for the need for hydrological modeling tools for the sustainable management of water resources in the country. The aim of this work is to analyze, implement and calibrate the MGB-IPH hydrological model (Collischonn, et al., 2007) in the Cuareim basin, where there is a strong competition for water demand, primarily for rice irrigation. The model analysis allowed to associate their most important parameters with known physical data of the basin (and nationwide) and recognize the most sensitive parameters. The implementation and calibration of the model in the Cuareim basin yielded a hydrological model that properly represents the observed flows. The model can be easily implemented in others national basins, taking into account their physical parameters.
