MANRIQUE-LOSADA, Bell; ECHEVERRI-ARIAS, Jaime Alberto  y  PELAEZ-RODRIGUEZ, Marlon. Hydroinformatics’ contributionto Amazonian water resources and ecosystem management. Ing. Investig. [online]. 2011, vol.31, n.1, pp.108-116. ISSN 0120-5609.

Significant progress has been made during recent yearsin applying information technologiesto water resource management from a multidisciplinary field called hydroinformatics; this can change the focus of environmental impact assessment and decision-making according to available environmental resources. This article presents an image retrieval system which uses the Universidad de la Amazonia´s (Colombia)Aquatic Ecosystem Quality and Preservation Research Group´s (CAPREA) digital image collection. Automaticpicture classification (having attributes relative to water colour, edges and flow type) is proposed which has beenbased onDinnertein´s classification, adapted by the Universidad Nacional de Colombia´s Hydrology and Meteorology Institute and Environment Studies in 2001.

Palabras clave : hydroinformatics; aquatic resource management; image retrieval; Amazonian aquatic ecosystem.
