Resumen

Existe un incontestable consenso de que las cuencas experimentales desempeñan un papel importante en el estudio de los procesos hidrológicos. Así, se ha profundizado en conceptos teóricos y se han desarrollado modelos hidrológicos que han permitido y apoyado la planificación y gestión de los recursos hídricos así como la toma de decisión en aspectos relacionados con avenidas, cambio climático e investigación medioambiental. Este artículo empieza con una breve introducción a la historia de la monitorización hidrológica y al comienzo de los estudios hidrológicos basados en cuencas experimentales, y destaca las actividades internacionales llevadas a cabo para fomentar y diseminar ese tipo de aproximación. Debido a la implicación personal del autor, se hace especial hincapié en las actividades de la “Euro-Mediterranean Network of Experimental and Representative Basins ERB” y al reciente inventario de cuencas experimentales llevado a cabo en Austria. Puesto que la recogida y suministro de dato constituyen un requisito importante para cualquier valoración hidrológica, se propone que datos y proveedores deben ser citados y agradecidos en las publicaciones científicas. Estas citas deberían tener una evaluación y ranking equivalente al de las citas de los artículos y podrían alentar así una disposición positiva al suministro de datos. A modo de conclusión, puede afirmarse que los estudios en cuencas experimentales se llevan a cabo en todo el mundo, pero existe una falta de comunicación internacional entre las partes interesadas. En el futuro se deberían reforzar las plataformas de comunicación y promover el intercambio extenso de datos.
