INTRODUCTION The area of Albacete -Los Llanos (Spain) had been known for its numerous lakes and water springs up to the 19th century. We found historical cartography to be of good help in order to establish a diagnosis on natural conditions. Thanks to the economic development ,that took place in the 19th century, a network of channels was built in order to drain the lakes and make the most of water resources, which led to the drying of lakes and springs.

BASIN MODELING (TETIS) Model: TETIS (FrancĂŠs et al, 2007) is a Conceptual Distributed model for rainfall-runoff modelling UPV (Universidad PolitĂŠcnica de Valencia)

RURAL MODELING – LOS LLANOS (SOBEK) Parent Grid The overland flow occupies extended areas and moves at a low velocity. The endorheics located in Los Llanos generate many flow retention areas

RURAL MODELING – LOS LLANOS (SOBEK) Nested Grids With respect to the parent grid of the bidimensional topology, we have nested two grids with a higher resolution with the purpose of providing more detail in vulnerable areas. Due to the scarce slopes and the lack of a proper natural drainage network, any element modifying the flow direction will be crucial

URBAN MODELING - ALBACETE (INFORWORKS) Overland flow from Escartana, advancing from the south and reaches the city of Albacete affecting its urban drainage system.
Coupling hydrologic and hydraulic models to determine the response response of ruralrural-urban environments in an endorheic area
URBAN MODELING - ALBACETE (INFORWORKS) We generated a series of scenarios to analyze the influence of the boundary conditions over the urban network Scenario 1: Rainfall: T = 10 years Q canal = 0 m3/s (Empty Channel)
Scenario 2: Rainfall: T = 10 years Q canal = 10.812 m3/s (Maximum daily flow)
Overland depth differences between scenarios 11-2

URBAN MODELING - ALBACETE (INFORWORKS) In order to understand the operation of the network, it is Important to take into consideration the connection between the channel and pipes

CONCLUSIONS – BASIN MODELING There’s two types of response: Lezuza and Jardín Rivers: Floods are due to meteological phenomena during winter. The soil component is very important in the runoff production.
Escartana River: Floods due to convective events, usual in the mediterranean region (flash floods).

CONCLUSIONS – URBAN MODELING 1. The decrease in the capacity of the urban network due to the flows coming from the María Cristina channel, which constitute restrictive boundary conditions. This effects leads to an increase in the overland flow in the neighbourhoods located close to the channel. 2. The unfavourable positioning of the pipe invert levels can generate an inverse operating of the network due to inflow from the Maria Cristina Channel.
