The Malalcahuello Catchment is sometimes also called the catchment of the Tres Arroyos.
Location
On the southern slope of the volcano Lonquimay, IXth Region, Southern Chile
Catchment size
ca. 6 km²
Climate
humid-temperate with altitudinal effects, snow in higher altitudes during winter
Geology
volcanic ashes, andesite
Topography
steep slopes, elevations range from 1120 m to 1856 m above sea level
Vegetation/Land use
old growth forest, no anthropogenic intervention
Context of investigation
several studies have been carried out in this catchment. Research topics include:
- Runoff generation processes
- Sediment transport
- Debris flow
- Large woody debris
- Interception
Measurements/Equipment
- water level
- rainfall
- groundwater levels
- soil moisture
- tracer experiments
- bedload transport
- ...
