Why a SAT in the Pacora river basin?

The objective of the SAT is to alert the population with enough time in the case of hydrometeorological phenomena with high possibilities of bringing significant increases in the levels of water that could be higher than the river's banks. This is with the purpose of taking the needed precautions in advance, having as main vision, the prevention before the extreme hydrometeorological events.

Inauguration of the Early Alert System for the Pacora river (26-jun-09)

The Pacora SAT consists of:

• Installation of a Hydrological Telemetric Station with level sensor, to measure the river level in the middle part of the basin.
• A Telemetric Meteorological Station which registers various parameters regarding the weather conditions in the high part of the basin.
• As well as rulers with colors that signal the increase of levels in the river which allow the population to know visually the river condition.
• Limnimetric Hydrologic station (radio SINAPROC) for the Pacora river "San Miguel".
