(1997) «Determinación de la erosión en la Cuenca del Segura a partir de los sedimentos acumulados en sus embalses», Geogaceta, 23, pp. 135-138.0213-683Xhttps://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/120551Bathymmetrícal surveys and sedimentological studies have been carried out in 12 reservoirs located in the Segura Basin (Southeast part of Spain). These, reservoirs posses 81% of the total storage capacity of the Segura Basin and their catchments cover 36% of the total surface area of this basin. Therefore the results are highly representative for the area. These results indicate that every year more than 2 millions tons of sediment are deposited in these reservoirs occupying a volume higher than 1.64 hm3. In this way, the Segura Basin have lost, at least, 1 0.68% of its initiále storage capacity. The capacity loss in the reservoirs is a consecuence of the soil losses taking place in the Segura Basin that range from 785 to 697 t/km2.yearspajournal articlehttps://sociedadgeologica.org/publicaciones/geogaceta/geogaceta-23-1997/open access55:504.121Sediment yieldReservoir sedimentationBathymmetrical surveysCapacity lossesSegura BasinGeologíaHidrología2506.04 Geología Ambiental
