Abstract

The Chambas basin, located in the province of Ciego de Ávila, Cuba is the main source of supply for the territory it crosses and has been the object of the development of hydraulic projects. This study examined the monthly distribution of precipitation, to determine the most relevant periods from a hydrological point of view. For this, traditional statistical measures were used in combination with the daily precipitation concentration index. The results showed that the months with the lowest precipitation concentration index are April, May, June, July, August and September, while from October to March they had the highest values, indicating that these months accumulate more precipitation in fewer days. of rain. October was identified as the month of greatest interest for agricultural activity and engineering work, due to its high historical rainfall averages. It was concluded that the concentration index, calculated monthly, in combination with other statistics, is a useful tool and provides relevant information.
