BELTRAN CONLAGO, Andrea Carolina; ABRIL SALTOS, Ricardo e PAREDES CEPEDA, Edwin Ricardo. Influence of vegetation cover on the hydrological characteristics of the Pindo River. Ing. hidrául. ambient. [online]. 2022, vol.43, n.4, pp. 13-26. Epub 23-Mar-2023. ISSN 2788-6050.
The present investigation was carried out in the upper basin of the Pindo River, Mera canton, Pastaza province. The objective was to evaluate the influence of the type of cover on the edaphological and hydrological characteristics that influence the variability of the Pindo River flow. Data were collected using the simple infiltrometer cylinder method. The infiltration behavior in the forest and grass cover was compared, additionally a soil sample was extracted using the cylinder method (MC), to determine the apparent density, soil texture and root density. The results showed that the infiltration speed and longitudinal density of roots do not present significant differences between forest and grass. From the analysis of the apparent density, the grasses presented the highest average values.
