Abstract
The main objective of this research is to study the downscaling of precipitation at basin
scale in the Paute river basin, which is located in the tropical Andes of Southern
Ecuador. The main assumption is that, by incorporating orographic information in the
downscaling of precipitation, improved estimates of precipitation can be achieved. Such
research is important, both from a scientific perspective as well as for water resource
management and planning assessment for this developing country.
