Tropical alpine grasslands of the northern Andes, commonly known as the páramo, provide abundant high-quality water for downstream populations as well as a variety of other environmental services. Yet, very little is known ...

Understanding how tropical montane catchments store and release water, and the resulting water ecosystem services they provide is crucial for improving water resource management. But while research in high–elevation tropical ...

In this study, the performance of the HEC-HMS model was evaluated for the simulation of rain-runoff processes in a paramo basin of approximately 21. 8 km2, south of Ecuador. The calibration and validation comprises the ...

This paper analyses the problems involved in the conservation and management of the hydrological system of the South American páramo. The páramo consists of a collection of neotropical alpine grassland ecosystems covering ...

Few high-elevation tropical catchments worldwide are gauged, and even fewer are studied using combined hydrometric and isotopic data. Consequently, we lack information needed to understand processes governing rainfall–runoff ...
