Abstract

The work aims to identify and cartographically represent

sensitive areas (scenarios) to river flooding in the lower section

of the Madre de Dios hydrographic unit in the Peruvian

Amazon, from the use of digital terrain models (DTM) and

System for Automated Geoscientific Analyses (SAGA-GIS)

free software, in version 2.2.5. It was produced a DTM with

cells of 30 x 30 m hydrologically corrected, obtaining different

maps of geomorphological factor (vertical distance from the

drainage network and closed depressions) and hydrological

factor (surface runoff, topographic wetness index, and modified

catchment area). Integrating all this information the contrast

index map was obtained, which once reclassified, allowed the

spatial delineation of the flood scenarios and their categories of

susceptibility.

INTRODUCTION

The great deforestation, on the slopes of the Andean piedmont,

causes an intense process of sedimentation of the rivers of the

Amazon plain, which alters the morphology of its channels, the

fluvial dynamics and causes a greater number of overflows.

This process of deforestation accelerates flooding during the

rainy season and causes the rivers when they reach the Amazon

plain to be filled with sediments [1].

In Peru the so-called "artisanal mining" or "small-scale mining"

is particularly important in the Madre de Dios Region, but it is

also increasing in a disturbing way in other regions. In Madre

de Dios in 2011, the number of miners operating with

increasingly heavy and sophisticated equipment, such as front-

end loaders, trucks and dredges of various types, was estimated

at over 30,000, generating significant environmental and social

conflicts: % of mining operations are informal, and a number

well above the 1 500 mining petitions overlap with protected

natural areas, buffer zones and indigenous peoples' lands. It is

estimated that these operations had already destroyed more

than 32 000 ha by that date. of forests and severely

contaminated several rivers in the region with mercury and

other chemical compounds [2].

This gold mining alters the course of the rivers, by extracting

ore from the banks and pumping water from them, which

destroys the vegetation cover and modifies the parameters of

the river bed, in addition to producing a strong contamination

of its rivers. waters, mainly by mercury, arsenic and residues of

hydrocarbons. Among the most affected Peruvian Amazon

rivers are Huapetuhe, Colorado, Madre de Dios and

Malinowski.

Territorial expansion of gold mining also significantly

threatens the ecosystems of Madre de Dios, a global

biodiversity host that forms part of the Vilcabamba-Amboro

conservation corridor. Until 2013, gold mining has been

responsible for the deforestation of almost 50,000 hectares [3].

In order to illustrate the situation, in a study carried out in

Madre de Dios area by the Association for the Conservation of

the Amazon Basin, it was determined that only between

February and July 2015, 225 hectares of forest disappeared.

Similarly, between August 2014 and July 2015, 725 ha were

destroyed in La Pampa, an area within the buffer zone of the

important Tambopata National Reserve, which is considered to

be the center of the most illegal illegal mining of Peru and in

which other illegal activities, such as trafficking in women and

girls are developing in a collateral manner [4].

The Ombudsman's Office, in 2015, estimated that 44% of the

forest area in Madre de Dios is affected by illegal mining,

which amounts to some 50,000 hectares devastated.

This illegal gold mining, when operating with large quantities

of mercury, without the necessary technological and

environmental management conditions, contaminates the soils

and waters of the entire territory they occupy, as well as

downstream from the currents of the places where they operate.

The situation has reached a level such that on May 24, 2016,

the official newspaper "El Peruano", in an unprecedented act

issued an Alert in Madre de Dios, based on the negative impact

of gold mining in that territory, where 41% of the population

has levels of mercury contamination, chemical substance used

in this activity, which represents a public health issue that

deserves priority and immediate attention, reason why the

Executive declared the state of emergency for 60 days in eleven

districts with the aim of reversing this situation [5].

This process of environmental degradation occurs in a territory

whose Perhumid and Humid climate (total annual rainfall

between 1500 and 3000 mm) in the Eastern Cordillera-

Subandean and Humid and Subhumid Strip (total annual

rainfall of 1500 to 3000 mm), contributes to that the feasible

scenarios of flooding in these watersheds are increasing every

day, with the consequent socio-economic and environmental

impact.

Flooding is a constant threat and is a phenomenon that can be

triggered quickly and rapidly [6] causing numerous disasters

worldwide, causing thousands of deaths annually and millions

of dollars in economic losses from damage [7]. From an

anthropocentric perspective, floods can be generally defined as

the presence of water on the ground in places, forms and times

that are unsuitable for human activities, causing economic,

social and environmental effects [8].

Floods are potentially destructive recurrent hydrological

phenomena, which are part of the dynamics of evolution of a

stream. They can be produced by intense rains or not so intense

but of very long duration, which progressively increase the

flows of the currents and with it the height of the waters until

they exceed the limits that impose the banks of the channel.

Depending on many factors, but mainly the size, shape and

relief of the catchment basin, these floods will have a greater or

lesser time of occurrence from the beginning of the

precipitations. Circular watersheds (near-unity form factor),

with a very large area and high average slope, will develop very

rapid and extensive floods and floods.

Hence, in rivers running in flat areas, floods will be slow, with

daily increases in water levels of the order of centimeters and

generally affecting large areas, but should not cause major

human losses. Everything that happens in mountain or

mountain foothills, where due to its temporal dynamics, the

current velocity is high and cause numerous human losses,

although its area of affectation may be smaller, as well as the

time of permanence of the flooded areas, something that

authors share like [9], when considering that the greater the

speed of the current, although this is not very high, the greater

the damage.

According to [10], the relationship between the floods and the

occurrence of disasters does not occur equally in all places, in

some floods only make a physical process not considered

disaster, since it does not affect the people, however in other

such floods It impacts vulnerable communities, overcoming

their potential for recovery, becoming true human tragedies.

For this reason, the present study aimed to present a

methodology that allows, from the digital terrain model (DTM)

and the free software SAGA GIS in version 2.2.5, to map and

categorize the scenarios of hazards to river floods to intense and

/ or prolonged rains [11], [12] y [13].

The area selected for the application of this methodology was

the mid-lower sector of hydrographic unit number XIII-Madre

de Dios, which involves part Madre de Dios, Inambari, Manu,

Las Piedras and Tambopata rivers. This sector comprises four

basins and two inter-basins, in relation to the five rivers present

(figure 1).

hydrography. (Source: ANA, 2012 [14]).

MATERIAL AND METHOD

At present there are a large number of methods and tools that

allow to model much of the hydrological and hydraulic

processes that are related to fluvial floods.

The development of hydrological modeling began at the

beginning of the 19th century and was used for the design of

hydraulic works mainly. In the 1960s, Crawford and Linsley's

Standford Watershed Model (SWM) emerged in 1966 to model

various aspects of the hydrological cycle, though due to the

development of digital tools, increased availability of

georeferenced spatial data and The creation of the first

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is at the end of the

1990s, this discipline takes on a much greater boom, reaching

to the present day [15].

The models can be physical, with the representation of

watersheds or mathematical (numerical), those that use

empirical or conceptual equations to represent the response of

the hydrological unit under different hydrometeorological

conditions [16].

According to [17], it posible to distinguish four general types

of models: (a) deterministic that are formulated following the

laws of physics and/or chemical processes described by

differential equations; (b) probabilistic which, on the contrary,

are formulated according to the laws of chance or probability

and can be statistical or stochastic; (c) conceptual

representations that are simplified representations of physical

processes, such as mathematical descriptions that simulate

complex processes based on a few conceptual parameters, and

(d) parametric, empirical or black box, which are the simplest

and consist of an algebraic equation (or equations) containing

one or more parameters to be determined by data analysis or

other empirical means.

Nowadays, there is an important range of ways of

implementing many of these methods in several free software,

which allow the identification of potentially floodable areas in

the event of intense or prolonged rains, among which we

highlight the QGIS-SIG with a proven performance in

hydrological studies , which runs on most operating systems;

the HEC-RAS numerical model developed by the US Army

Corps of Engineers with hydraulic river models using the

gradient and topography to evaluate the tie rod, velocities and

flooded zones and the International River Interface Cooperative

(IRIC) which is a software developed with the purpose of

providing a complete riverbed simulation environment, the

results of which can be imported and used by users for analysis,

mitigation and disaster prevention purposes, by visualizing the

results of the simulation from the river.

Other software designed to simulate watershed hydrological

processes are: HEC-HMS, which includes traditional

hydrological analysis procedures such as infiltration events,

unit hydrographs, and hydrological routing; the PRMS

(Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System) is a modular, spatially

distributed parameter system that represents the physical

processes of a watershed and was developed by the United

States Geological Survey to evaluate the effects of various

combinations soil type and use, vegetation and climatic

parameters on the hydrological response of the basin.

SWAT is also available, a tool to assess soil and water at the

basin level, with special emphasis on precipitation-runoff

modeling and water and solutes transport across the surface,

allowing prediction of the impact of soil management practices

in water resources and sediments; a good part of the GIS has

tools and even complete modules for hydrological work, such

as SAGA-GIS, a GIS platform dedicated to spatial analysis,

with a great number of tools for hydrological modeling and a

programming strategy that prints a high speed to your

calculation procedures.

The methodology and materials used in the present study

respond to the undoubted advantages of the incorporation of

Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing and

digital image processing in hydrological modeling.

The great majority of authors agree that these tools provide a

more accurate calculation of the physical parameters necessary

to operate with hydrological models, there is an increase of

spatial working resolution at all levels, being possible the

analysis of the spatial variation of factors such as runoff

coefficients or similar, which until now were considered as

constant single value parameters [18].

In the same way, it is very important to analyze the spatial

variation of precipitation, which has hitherto been considered

as a constant and static element, which allows an analysis of the

different precipitation intensities for different points in a basin.

All this allowed the emergence of new approaches such as fully

distributed models, or new resources and techniques based on

the exhaustive knowledge of the physical environment, in

which hydrological phenomena are developed.

Within this type of study, the determination of scenarios or

areas susceptible to flooding in the face of intense and / or

prolonged rains, will have the relief as a fundamental factor,

since it controls in the first instance the direction of the flow of

water and spaces where they accumulate, as well as the time of

permanence of the same ones in the flooded area.

The methodology applied in this work (figure 2) takes these

considerations into account and based on the DTM and some

techniques and / or tools implemented in version 2.2.5 of the

SAGA, obtains the map of susceptibility to the river floods of

the studied territory.

In Figure 2 is presented the methodology used as a priority to

be able to count on a good quality DTM (precision) in

correspondence with the required work scale. This once

adjusted model is hydrologically corrected, which in many

studies is obviated and is largely responsible for the accuracy

and accuracy of the different products of model processing with

GIS tools.

The applied methodological variant is based on the

fundamental assumption that the relief is the maximum

responsible for the distribution of the water in the surface of the

land and that from geomorphological and hydrological criteria

highly dependent on the relief, a series of factors or parameters

are selected which are calculated in the framework of the

SAGA-GIS version 2.2.5 options.

The criteria calculated and used to identify areas with the

highest susceptibility to flooding are:

Geomorphological criteria

1-Closed depressions (CD): Non-karstic relief depressions are

potentially susceptible areas to be flooded. These forms include

depressions within other depressions (nested depressions) or

flat type morphologies sunk above the general level and that in

the presence of intense or prolonged precipitations accumulate

runoff waters.

2-Vertical distance to the drainage network (VD): It is the

vertical distance from the drainage network to the adjacent

heights, from the geomorphological point of view can be

correlated with the different floodplains that can reach the

waters of the riverbeds, gives us according to its value the level

of proximity to the river bed.

Hydrological criteria

3-Modified catchment area (MCA): This is the area that

receives an amount of flow that accumulates per unit area,

making it a very important factor for describing floods.

4-Runoff-overland flow D8: It is formed when the

precipitations are superior to the capacity of infiltration of the

ground due to the high humidity of the ground that causes the

supersaturation. The relevance of this factor is corroborated by

the extensive literature on this subject, which is undoubtedly a

very important parameter for the analysis of flooding of the

terrain, since it represents the sheet of water that circulates on

the surface in a certain drainage basin.

5-Topographic wetness index (TW1): Its main use is related to

the production of runoff, assuming that it originates in the

presence of water saturation in the soil, when the water table

approaches the surface. These conditions are due to the

presence of extreme hydrometeorological phenomena with

intense or very prolonged rainfall.

Typing the data of each resulting map

With the hydrologically corrected model, the selected

geomorphological and hydrological factors are calculated.

Each of them is determined the fundamental statistical

parameters being typified according to the following

expression:

Typified Value = (Vi-μ) / σ (equation 1)

Vi-value of each raster map cell

μ-arithmetic mean of the values of all raster map cells

σ-standard deviation of the values of all raster map cells

With the typing it is possible to standardize the values of each

map and from its statisticians the values below the arithmetic

mean will be negative and above the average will be positive.

With all maps of the typed factors, the map of the

Hydromorphometric Contrast Index (HCI) is obtained from its

weighted linear sum (equation 2).

HCI= (CD + MCA +D8 +TW1- VD) (equation 2)

Where:

CD: Closed depressions

VD: Vertical distance to drainage network

MCA: Modified catchment area

D8: Runoff-overland flow

TW1: Topographic wetness index

With the values resulting from this Hydromorphometric

contrast index (HCI), histogram is constructed, if the

distribution of the data is not normal, we first use some of the

existing techniques for its normalization and like the one that

presents initial normality, using the method of the typical

deviations, summarized in table 1, establish the categories of

the degree of susceptibility of the final resulting map.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

From the processing of the hydrologically corrected DTM, the

maps corresponding to the geomorphological factors were

obtained. Figure 3A and 3B shows a detail area of the closed

depressions (CD) and the vertical distance to the drainage

network (VD) respectively.

The maps corresponding to the hydrological factor, represented

by the modified catchment area (MCA) (see figure 3C), the

runoff and the SAGA Topographic wetness index (figure 3D)

were then elaborated.

Then the values of these five maps were typified by

standardization and applying the weighted linear sum of them

to obtain the map of the Hydromorphometric Contrast Index

(HCI) showed in figure 3E, where the resulting values are

moved between 5 and -5, representing -5 the lowest

susceptibility and 5 the highest susceptibility to flooding.

In order to classify this synthetic map into representative

categories of the flood phenomenon, the statistical behavior of

its values was analyzed. In Figure 3F, the histogram

corresponding to them is shown, where a good normal

distribution of the data can be appreciated, which allowed to

apply the methodology of the standard deviations for its

categorization and to arrive at the final map of susceptibility to

the floods (See Figure 4).

In the study area there are areas of high and medium

susceptibility to fluvial floods distributed throughout most of

the territory, although to a greater extent in the lower sectors of

the basin, which corresponds to the large number of fluvial

flood events recorded for this hydrographic unit on a regular

basis (See Figure 4).

Given the scale of the map and the area covered, it was

considered convenient to illustrate its usefulness and accuracy,

based on a detail of the area comprising the city of Puerto

Maldonado (See Figure 5).

It is symptomatic as in principle the core of the city was located

in a place where it would not be exposed to floods, but as the

urban spot grew, it has occupied areas moderately susceptible

to flooding and thereby increased its vulnerability to the rain

floods that very often originate in this region due to strong and

/ or prolonged rains.

The authors were able to verify in situ the degree of

correspondence of the boundaries for each one of the categories

in this city, resulting from great accuracy, from the

confrontation of the map of Susceptible areas to river floods,

with specialists and people who inhabit the territory.

CONCLUSIONS

The methodology proposed and used allowed to delimit with

accuracy the diverse scenarios of areas susceptible to the

floods, which was verified in the later field trips in the zone.

The high correspondence between the areas that traditionally

present fluvial floods in the city of Puerto Maldonado with

those categorized as medium and highly susceptible as a result

of the present study.

The criteria and factors used allowed to integrate the

information necessary and sufficient to delimit the areas

susceptible to rain floods, note that this methodological

approach only uses as a starting point the DTM, in contrast to

other more complex modeling, involving a considerable group

of variables, some of which are difficult to obtain or estimate.

In the studied area of Madre de Dios hydrographical unit, flood

events occur quite frequently, which is fully reflected in the

large number of areas categorized in the present study, such as

medium and high susceptibility to fluvial floods, which

indicates that there are geomorphological and hydrological

conditions so that in the presence of intense or prolonged rains

part of the territory can be under the waters.
