Main Article Content
Abstract
The geologic structure, seismics and volcanism together with paleoseis mology, paleohydrology and neotec tonics are remarkable restrictions in the management of geologic, hydrologic and structural safety of dams, lakes and the hydraulic infrastructure. The geologic boundaries on the design, construction, operation and dam safety and in the watershed management are evaluated in this paper for two hydrologic regions of noticeable importance: The Panama Canal Basin and the Western Watersheds. In the first of two papers the background of the problem and the geological satiation of the Panama Canal is discussed. Bibliography is included at the end of the second article of the contribution.
