Abstract

In the mediterranean conditions the classic models are not avaliables for to explain the runoff/runon processes. The Mediterranean area is a zone of special interest , because in which the classical models of generation of runoff are presenting of form combined. In this research, we analyse the possible hydrologic hehavior of two slopes with different pluviometric gradient. In which, by means of an exhaustive analysis of vegetation and the soil characteristics, we determine which could be its hydrologic behaviour attending to two types of different parameters; on the one hand, we could to cal! hydrodynamic model, its based in the mixed and discontinue Horton models (Calvo Cases, A. 2003 ), (Lavee et al. 1998), and the other hand, hydrological used in the civil engineering. According to hydrologic the results are very extremes, and a good behaviour to attending the slope hydrodynamic. Such, the vegetation pattern, its disposition, and the integration with edafological characteristics about its rainfall, has an important role.
