dc.description.abstract Jobos Bay Estuary Research Reserve (JBNERR) is located Salinas in Puerto Rico. Mar Negro wetland is the biggest mangrove forest in the area located at the south boundary of JBNERR. The north side of the Reserve has been used for agricultural activities since the Spanish Colonial times. Since 1993 the mangrove started to diminish and its mortality was promoted by antropogenic activities. This project consisted of: 1) Study of the hydrologic and hydraulic conditions existing at the north side of JBNERR; 2) Hydraulic design of channels with a system of weirs to re-direct irrigation and rain runoff to a parcel of land before discharging into Mar Negro. This water distribution will control surface runoff, reduce surface erosion, and improve the quality of runoff waters discharging into the mangrove. The project analysis was prepared using SWMM software, field work, and historical rainfall data to get the details features of the study area. en_US
dc.description.abstract La Reserva de Investigación Estuarina Bahía de Jobos (JBNERR) se encuentra Salinas, Puerto Rico. Mar Negro es el mayor bosque de manglar ubicado al sur de JBNERR. El área norte de la Reserva se ha utilizado para actividades agrícolas desde los tiempos coloniales españoles. Desde 1993, el manglar comenzó a disminuir y su mortandad ha sido promovida por actividades antropogénicas. Este proyecto consistió en: 1) Estudio de las condiciones hidrológicas e hidráulicas existentes al norte de JBNERR; 2) Diseño hidráulico de canales con un sistema de vertedores para redirigir las escorrentías por riego y de lluvia a una parcela antes de alcanzar al mar Negro. Esta distribución de agua controlará la escorrentía superficial, reducirá la erosión, y mejorará la calidad del agua de escorrentía que alcance el manglar. El análisis del proyecto se preparó utilizando SWMM, trabajo de campo, y datos históricos de precipitación para obtener los detalles del área de estudio. en_US
