Environmental flow estimation using hydrological and hydraulic methods for the Quindío River basin: WEAP as a support tool

In the Quindío river basin, there are differ-ent uses of water which, in some dry periods of the year, threaten aquatic ecosystems. This project sought to es-timate an environmental flow regime for the Quindío river basin. Different hydrologic and hydraulic methods were implemented; the 7Q10, Q95, IDEAM, Q97.5, and Q90 are highlighted. Users concerned with the results of this research are: the Regional Autonomous Corpo-ration of Quindío (CRQ), the public utility companies of water and sewage, and scholarly communities and researchers related to the study of water resources. In conclusion, the Q95 method allows obtaining envi-ronmental flow regimes on a monthly basis capable of adapting to the hydrological variability of the natural regime
