| step pools piscinas escalonadas Explanation: Step Pools Step pools consist of a series of structures designed to dissipate energy in steep gradient sections of a stream. They are often used where a large nick point has formed and is migrating headward or where a channel has degraded below a culvert or outfall. They are made of large rock in alternating short steep drops and longer low or reverse grade sections. The number of steps is determined by the extent of the drop in invert of the stream. There are various configurations and arrangements of rock that can be utilized. The requirement is that whatever the design configuration chosen it must be stable at all flows, the rock must be large enough to be essentially immobile, and the drops should be low enough to allow aquatic life to migrate upstream (Figure 20). http://www.stormwatercenter.net/Assorted Fact Sheets/Restora... Situadas en el municipio de Lanquín, en el departamento de Alta Verapaz en Guatemala, a sólo 200 kilómetros de la capital del país, en Semuc Campey se forman una serie de piscinas escalonadas increíblemente bellas, y en un entorno de naturaleza espectacular. La formación de Semuc Champey, es en realidad un puente natural de piedra de unos 500 metros de largo donde el río se filtra para circular subterráneamente. Sobre la formación, se asientan las piscinas naturales alimentadas por manantiales, como si fueran dos ríos superpuestos. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:zzESraA... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2011-03-12 07:40:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ESTANQUES ESCALONADOS supongo que pudiera valer en algún caso http://www.google.es/search?hl=&q="estanques escalonados"&so...

peer agreement (net): +1| step pools terrazas de agua Explanation: Aunque en gran medida estas terrazas se utilizan para cultivos vegetales en zonas con pendiente (cerros), la idea sirve también para fabricar espacios para cultivos de moluscos u otro tipo de animales acuáticos en diferentes hábitats. "The six alluvial channel reach types (cascade, step-pool, plane bed, pool-riffle, regime, and braided channels) in large part separate different spawning and rearing habitats as well as different benthic habitats." http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/technical/rca/wp06text.html http://www.photaki.es/foto-casa-y-terrazas-de-agua-con-culti... |
