Abstract

The watershed is known as a riparian zone, a region of transition and interaction between the terrestrial and aquatic environments, i.e., an ecotone. In this sense, they are the strips contiguous to inland natural water bodies, whether they are in movement (rivers, streams, creeks) or relatively stagnant (lakes, lagoons, marshes, estuaries), and whether the flow is continuous, periodic or eventual during the hydrological year (Swanson et al., 1988). From this arises the need to establish parameters for their delimitation, a function that must be fulfilled by the competent Environmental Authorities, taking into account the geomorphological, hydrological and ecosystemic criteria, established in the Technical Guide of Criteria for the Delimitation of Water Rounds in Colombia, established in Decree 2245 of 2017. This state of the art addresses different methodologies used for the delineation of water courses at the global and local levels.
