Abstract

The process of transformation of the natural landscape in watersheds is an indicator of soil infiltration loss, as a result of the increase in impervious cover due to land use and cover change (LUCC). This condition of environmental vulnerability (EV) increases runoff and the risk of flooding. The Acapulco de Juarez Bay (AJB), located in the state of Guerrero, Mexico, presents important changes in its watersheds due to urban growth and agricultural development in recent decades. In this region of Mexico, floods show greater frequency and magnitude. This research compares the effect of the LUCC between 1970 and 2013, to determine the increase of EV and flood risk in the AJB, using rainfall intensity values recorded during the flooding that occurred on September 15, 2013, due to Tropical Cyclone Manuel. We used the curve number (CN) method to determine flood zones, integrating EV and intense rainfall values. The result showed an increase in EV and risk levels, for regions where the LUCC was higher. The model proved to be efficient in reproducing flood zones when compared with satellite information. It can be concluded that the LUCC contributes to flood risk, due to the loss of infiltration of soils in watersheds, so the preservation and conservation of natural ecosystems are the main mitigation and disaster prevention measure.
