Hydrological modelling of daily flow in two restored playa-lakes in southern Spain (Córdoba province)
In this work, we estimated the water level from 2008 to 2023 at a daily scale in Rincon and Santiago playa-lakes (Southern Spain) by means of precipitation, total runoff and evaporation data. The results were compared to actual evolution of the water level during the same period in both wetlands. Hi...

| Sumario: | In this work, we estimated the water level from 2008 to 2023 at a daily scale in Rincon and Santiago playa-lakes (Southern Spain) by means of precipitation, total runoff and evaporation data. The results were compared to actual evolution of the water level during the same period in both wetlands. Historical hydrological data taken from previous studies was also evaluated to observe possible changes in total runoff onto the hydrological system. Our results suggest that Rincón and Santiago playa-lakes constitute a single through-flow hydrological system. In high water periods Santiago Lake, placed at a higher altitude, contribute to the water balance of Rincón and so the hydroperiod of the latter is longer. During low water periods Santiago Lake act as a recharge system. Finally, a 4.23% reduction in runoff was observed comparing the results from the study period to the historical (1972/1996) average. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
