Mejorar la gobernanza de la llanura inundable en cuencas fluviales sobreconstruidas

The project investigated the Paraná river downstream of the Porto Primavera dam in Brazil to understand how flow dynamics affect large wetlands and floodplains. Using the Indicators of Hydrologic Alteration (IHA) method, researchers found that fish migration and reproduction are strongly influenced by the duration, starting date, peak, and frequency of flood events. The study also identified that professional fishing, tourism, and recreation depend on these ecosystems, though these activities often face conflicts of interest. To address these issues, the team developed a mathematical model using Stochastic Dual Dynamic Programming (SDDP) to simulate the performance of 53 hydropower plants on the river, aiming to create operating policies that optimize both energy production and ecosystem recovery.

• Fish migration and reproduction are strongly influenced by four specific components of flood events: duration, starting date, peak, and frequency.
• The abundance of migratory fish young-of-the-year (YoY) varies according to different synthetic flow patterns, suggesting that satisfactory fish abundance can be achieved by focusing on key flow regime indicators or by exploring different patterns for ecosystem recovery.
• Researchers developed a computational model using Stochastic Dual Dynamic Programming (SDDP) to simulate the performance of 53 hydropower plants on the Paraná river to analyze trade-offs between energy generation and ecosystem service demands for future reservoir operating policies.
