Flood hazard assessment of Atrato River in Colombia

open access: yesWater Resources Management, 2006
The flood hazard caused by Atrato River in Quibdo, northwest of Colombia is assessed using statistical modeling techniques (Gumbel and GRADEX), hydraulic modeling with HEC-RAS and the Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Three flood hazard maps for return periods of 10, 20 and 50 years are generated.

Rights of Nature in Practice: A Case Study on the Impacts of the Colombian Atrato River Decision [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Law, 2021
Abstract In recent years, several countries have adopted a new legal approach to address ecological damages by granting fundamental rights to non-human natural entities. Yet, little is known about the actual impacts of this new constitutionalism of nature on environmental protection.

Analysis of Floodplain Dynamics in the Atrato River Colombia Using SAR Interferometry [PDF]

open access: yesWater (Switzerland), 2019
Floodplain water flows have large volumetric flowrates and high complexity in space and time that are difficult to understand using water level gauges. We here analyze the spatial and temporal fluctuations of surface water flows in the floodplain of the Atrato River, Colombia, in order to evaluate their hydrological connectivity.

Streamflow Intensification Driven by the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) in the Atrato River Basin, Northwestern Colombia [PDF]

open access: yesWater (Switzerland), 2020
The impact of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) on the variations in the streamflow in the Atrato River Basin (ARB) during the 1965–2016 period was analyzed here by considering the cold (1965–1994) and warm (1995–2015) phases of this oscillation. The mean streamflow increased after 1994 (AMO phase change).

Recent sedimentary processes in the Atrato River Delta – Colombia based on physicochemical characterization of surface sediments

Catena, 2021
Abstract The Atrato River Delta (ARD) is a unique landform of the Colombian Caribbean shaped by the hydrologic and geological framework of the Colombian Pacific. This study analyses modern sedimentation in the ARD through grain size, mineral abundances, chemical weathering and concentrations of major and trace elements in 60 surface sediment samples ...

Trace elements in sediments and fish from Atrato River: an ecosystem with legal rights impacted by gold mining at the Colombian Pacific

Environmental Pollution, 2020
The Atrato watershed is a rainforest that supports exceptional wildlife species and is considered one of the most biodiversity-rich areas on the planet, currently threatened by massive gold mining. Aimed to protect this natural resource, the Constitutional Court of Colombia declared the river subject to rights.
