| Sumario: | The region known as Rolling Pampas is crossed by multiple rivers, whose dynamics is unknown, despite their important location . This is mainly due to the lack of long-standing hydrological data on the region. Moreover, , a large number of animal feeding operations farms (AFOs) are concentrated, being a significant source of river pollution. Thus, it is impossible to predict the environmental impact of such activities and to draw up accurate good practice guidelines for rural development since the necessary hydrological information is not available. One possible way to overcome this problem is to use hypsometric analysis that is based on topographic data and so can establish similarities among different rivers in terms of their behaviour. In the area under study, it was found that all basins have very similar hypsometric curves as well as similar hypsometric integral values. These findings show its hydrological homogeneity. Furthermore, all the basins were classified as non-equilibrium basins, which indicate that erosion is the main geomorphological factor and that the free runoff process is the most significant contamination carriers. |
