SOFTWARE

El programa denominado Gestión Integrada de Cuencas (WiM-Med), Watershed Integrated Management) es la primera versión de un modelo hidrológico completo, distribuido y de base física. El sufijo Med que acompaña al nombre de esta versión refleja que el modelo ha sido desarrollado y aplicado, hasta el momento, en cuencas Mediterráneas.
Pero la programación y la base de cálculo que lo sustentan han sido enfocadas desde un principio a la aplicación de carácter general en cualquier tipo de cuenca. El modelo surge como compendio de los resultados obtenidos en el Proyecto Guadalfeo, un estudio iniciado en 2004, promovido por el Instituto del Agua de la Junta de Andalucía y llevado a cabo por el Grupo de Dinámica de Flujos Ambientales de la Universidad de Granada y el Grupo de Hidrología e Hidráulica Ambiental de la Universidad de Córdoba. La motivación del Proyecto Guadalfeo es la gestión integral de una cuenca mediterránea del sur de España, y en este sentido el modelo WiM-Med pretende ser una herramienta técnica que permita facilitar y a la vez dotar de base científica sólida a una gestión integral de cuenca.

WiM-Med (Watershed Integrated Management in Mediterranean Environments ) is a physically-based, distributed hydrological model. It uses hourly and daily meteorological data, along with certain physical properties of the soil and subsoil to perform the spatial interpolation and temporal distribution of meteorological variables, rainfall interception, snow melt, infiltration, runoff, surface slope circulation, calculation of the water in aquifers, and basinflow circulation.

HEMINGS model (Millares et al. 2019) simulates the interaction between rain drop impact erosion, rill erosion, erosion within the gully and its headcut migration using a physical and distributed model that considers surface spatial variability of different soil parameters (hydraulic conductivity, soil potential pressure and surface and sub-surface erodibility) and hydro-meteorological drivers during the simulation. The model integrates subroutines of resampling of the original maps and calibration of the considered parameters.
