GONZALEZ, Juan Esteban  and  MONTOYA JARAMILLO, Luis Javier. A methodological proposal to morph-sedimentologic analysis at urban basins: Case study: Doña Maria's basin. Rev. ing. univ. Medellín [online]. 2010, vol.9, n.16, pp.13-24. ISSN 1692-3324.

This paper shows a methodological proposal to carry out river morphology analysis and sediment transport for urban basins highly intervened by human actions. In this methodology, different activities that will allow doing a detailed analysis for the river morphology and sediment transport in the basin are proposed. Among the steps proposed to implement this methodology, there are: analysis in plant of little basin, altitude profiles analysis of the main sub-basins, field measures (measures of liquid and solid discharge and general observations of the basin morphology), and estimations of sediments load and bed load capacity in the stream. An application to basin of Doña María is showed.

Keywords : sediment transport; fluvial morphology; hydrologic basins.
