MAIN RESULTS NEW OPERATION RULE FOR THE LAJA LAKE STARTING A HYDROLOGIC YEAR, THE AVAILABLE (FOR USE) WATER IS DISTRIBUTED
ACCORDING WATER RIGHTS AND TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE FILTRATIONS AND EVAPORATION (ALSO FOLLOWING THE RIEGO-ENDESA AGREEMENT).

LAJA BASIN CASE STUDY PROJECT

MAIN RESULTS NEW OPERATION RULE FOR THE LAJA LAKE THE OUTFLOWS FROM THE LAKE WERE SIMILAR 49.00 AGAINST 49.06 M3/S. MEASURED OUTFLOWS FROM LAKE WERE 64 M3/S (INCLUDE 9.1 M3/S FROM THE ALTO POLCURA CANAL) IN LAST 15 YEARS. IS ABOUT 4.4 M3/S OVER THE AVERAGE FLOW THAT PRODUCE THE LAJA LAKE BASIN. IT IS POSIBLE TO EXPLOTE THE LAJA LAKE BY A SUSTAINABLE MANNER. THE ACTUAL OPERATION RULE HAS CONDUCED THE LAKE TO IT ACTUAL STATE.
