Project Scope

Analyze if Mexico’s National Center for Disaster Prevention (Cenapred) suggested Rainfall-Runoff Methodology is valid to estimate the magnitude of the streamflow for several return periods (T = 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 years) in the Central Region of Veracruz.

DATA:•Mexico’s National Water Commission (Conagua) •Mexico’s National Institute of Geography and Statistics (Inegi).
