ROSARIO RODRIGUEZ, Katia Luisa et al. Runoff particularities of Cuban basin San Juan. RIHA [online]. 2013, vol.34, n.3, pp. 17-29. ISSN 1680-0338.

The San Juan basin, divided into sub-basins San Juan, San Agustín and Cañas, is completely different from other basins in the province. The high modular values of average river runoff, its within-year distribution and its overyear distribution confirm this peculiarity, which was checked with additional research conducted during the dry period of 2011. The behavior of the subbasin runoff of San Agustín-Cañas, including the operation of the water diversion canal MatanzasMayabeque, led the decision makers to develop an integrated water resources management program for this basin.

Keywords : groundwater recharge; water diversion canal; runoff.
