Tendencia de la precipitación: kilómetro 58+00 vía Bogotá Villavicencio

Abstract

Floods, landslides and rain-induced debris flows have been the main natural hazards that affect the safety and operation of the Colombian road system, mainly the road to the plain. With the rapid increase in road flow in the past 20 years, it is necessary to determine whether rain is the first factor causing landslides, in particular because extreme precipitation has increased in many parts of the world and will continue to increase. This document provides a quantitative approach to assessing the susceptibility of the transportation system subject to natural hazards on a relatively large scale. Through this monograph, an analysis of the deterioration of the Bogotá Villavicencio road at kilometer 58 due to the increase in precipitation was carried out, this section has become the most critical of the road, in which landslides have occurred that have generated closings, the importance of the road in terms of trade and economy of the country, makes it a national affectation that affects many sectors. This monograph is based on the hydrological consultation of the IDEAM meteorological stations closest to kilometer 58, from which information was obtained and a hydrological analysis was carried out, to answer whether the rain has a direct visible influence on the landslides of the problem of Bogotá Villavicencio road.
