Abstract
Este Trabajo Fin de Máster se centra en el análisis del impacto del cambio climático en las inundaciones provocadas por Depresiones Aisladas en Niveles Altos (DANAs) en la subcuenca de los Puchereros, situada en la provincia de Toledo, España. A través de simulaciones hidráulicas avanzadas utilizando el software HEC-RAS, se han modelado
escenarios futuros de inundación para los horizontes temporales de 2050 y 2100, basados en los escenarios de cambio climático RCP 4.5 y RCP 8.5 del IPCC. Los resultados revelan que,aunque la cantidad de precipitación es un factor importante, es la velocidad del flujo de agua la que aumenta significativamente la peligrosidad de las inundaciones en esta región. Este estudio destaca la importancia de desarrollar estrategias de adaptación y mitigación
específicas para cada región, considerando las proyecciones climáticas locales y los patrones de precipitación futuros, con el fin de gestionar eficazmente los riesgos asociados a estos fenómenos meteorológicos extremos.
This Master's Thesis focuses on analyzing the impact of climate change on floods caused by Cut-Off Lows (DANAs) in the Puchereros sub-basin, located in the province of Toledo, Spain. Through advanced hydraulic simulations using the HEC-RAS software, future flood scenarios for the time horizons of 2050 and 2100 have been modeled, based on the IPCC's RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 climate change scenarios. The findings reveal that, while the amount of precipitation is a significant factor, it is the water flow velocity that greatly increases flood hazards in this region. This study underscores the importance of developing region-specific adaptation and mitigation strategies, taking into account local climate projections and future precipitation patterns, to effectively manage the risks associated with these extreme meteorological events.
