  5. National Service of Territorial Studies El Salvador in spite of being a small country, it is frequently affected by natural phenomena as hurricanes, droughts and earthquakes that add to the chain of natural and environmental events, that they have meant in terms of losses and damages, a constant wear of the efforts of development and growth that El Salvador has come realizing.

For modeling purposes the river basin has been divided in 15 segments corresponding to each point of monitoring in real time. These points of monitoring include the four hydro power plants as well as hydrometric gauging stations. GO
