Resumen:
This work analyzes various morphometric characteristics of the Colangu¨ il river basin in order to evaluate flash flood hazards. Such high-water events pose a risk to the similarly named small village located at the basin?s foot area. For this purpose, the basin is divided into seven sub-basins and some basic measurements (surface, perimeter, basin length, river beds, elevations and slope of the main river bed, and of a number of minor river beds) are calculated. These measurements permit to predict approximately the behavior of the basin in the presence of a series of theoretical rainstorms that may generate unusual runoff volumes that make up such flash floods.
