Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rainfall of Chile The main home of the Chileans lies between these extremes, mostly in north-and-south valleys between the Andes and coastal mountains, from latitude 310 to 380 S. In this part of Chile are Santiago, Valparaiso, and Concepci N-the chief cities. The rain increases southward along these valleys from the scanty 269 millimeters at Ligua to an abundant 1,250 millimeters at Temuco. Along the coastal mountains it is always greater, and here too it increases southward from 500 millimeters at Valparaiso to 2,700 millimeters at Valdivia. The Andean slopes are rainier than the coast in every latitude. The dryness of the interior valley and the wetness of the Andes is the novel feature of the new rainfall map, not recognizable on any of the old ones, though it is obvious on a brief journey in the country. Of clear sky and sunshine central Chile has an extraordinary amount. Evaporation must be very great. Rains to West and Rain Shadow to East The rains come from the Pacific. The valleys lie in the rain shadow of the coastal mountains, as the western Argentine plains lie in the greater rain shadow of the Andes. Always the western slopes are wet, the eastern ones dry. You see this in going from Valparaiso to Santiago by rail. Between Limache and Quillota the train moves northward at the foot of the coastal mountains, whose slopes are dotted with trees, poor-looking to one from a humid country but indicative of no little moisture. From Llai-Llai junction we go south to Santiago in a valley back of the coast range and find the eastern side of the range almost entirely sterile. There is a stream channel in the valley in which water must flow at times, for there is the work that water does-the channel carving, the boulders it drags along; but even after the rainy season has well set in in the south there are only pools of green, scummy water here and there in the stream bed. The hillsides have become bare. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Water Resources of Chile written by Bonifacio Fernández and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-03 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chile is a privileged country in terms of water resources, with an average annual runoff of approximately 50,000 m3/person. However, water availability varies enormously in space, as less than 1,000 m3/person are available for more than 50% of the population. The temporal and spatial distribution of water resources is driven by processes highly variables across a country with different climates explained not only by a large range of latitudes (from 17° to 56° south), but also the presence of the Pacific Ocean and the Andes with peaks up to 7000 m. This geography makes of Chile a true natural laboratory in which water is essential for the society and the economy of the country. The relevance of water resources for the country has become even more significant in the context of a mega-drought that has affected practically the entire territory in recent years, although large floods such as those in Atacama 2015 and 2017 also take place periodically. This unique book brings together the state-of-art knowledge about the hydrology of Chile and its water resources, with a particular focus on quantitative aspects. The chapters are prepared by many of the most relevant researchers and practitioners working in water resources in the country. High-quality research contributions on climate and meteorology, surface and subsurface hydrology, water quality, water monitoring, water resource and global change, among other issues, are presented in this unique book, which offers a useful guide for academicians, researchers, practitioners and managers dealing with diverse water-related issues in Chile and other regions with similar characteristics
