Abstract

This research evaluates natural flood management strategies in a mountain basin, the Olivares-Minitas creek in Manizales, Colombia, to quantify the effectiveness of their application in reducing floods. Hydraulic and hydrological modeling was performed simultaneously in Iber software. Multiple scenarios were proposed for three natural flood management alternatives: (1) making room for the channel, eliminating contractions and structures limitations, (2) changing the vegetation cover of the upper part of the basin, increasing the ground roughness, and (3) reconnect the stream with their floodplains, allowing the stream to dissipate flow and energy. Applying these strategies, the simulations resulted of the decrease the high discharges and the delay in peak times for the hydrographs. In conclusion, from natural solutions like rehabilitating, recovering the water body, and their ecosystem, is possible to manage and reduce the flooding risk, Attaining benefits through long-term reduction of flooding and enhancement of the river and its ecosystem.
