Resumen:
The maximum water level of the Mar Chiquita lagoon (located northeast of the province of Cordoba in Argentina) was defined based on the combined effect of the highest water level ever measured and the maximum wind/wave setup associated to a recurrence of 100 years. In this sense, the highest level ever measured in the Mar Chiquita lagoon, has been obtained from the updated series of water level variations. Such variations are a direct result of natural hydrological cycles, amplified by the management and resource management in the upper basin of the Dulce river (the main lagoon tributary). The registration of these data has been performed daily and continuously over the last decade through direct measurements on limnimetric scales strategically located within the lagoon. From the analysis of these data significant fluctuations have been identified exceeding descents of 4 m between the extreme values. This represents a 40% decrease of the average depth, decrease that has observed from the highest water level ever recorded from the year 2003 up to now. This work has been complemented with a precise cartography on the bathymetry of Mar Chiquita lagoon. This process is based on the implementation of remote sensing tools, combined with the already mentioned water level measurements. The maximum storm level has been defined by the joint action of the wind set-up and its associated wave set-up.
