Procesos de erosión acelerada en la cuenca alta del río Monachil (Granada)

Abstract

The conditioning of the Skiing Station of Sierra Nevada (1990-1996) produced a high impact on river Monachil headwaters, mainly on geomorphology and surface waters. Protecting and correcting measures applied during station repairs have made very good results. Such measures succeeded in decreasing total sediment load, generated when former balance broke; the drainage of the slopes also avoided the formation of landslides
