Abstract

In this research, it is analyzed the calculation of real evapotranspiration in hydrographic basins, it is taken as a reference the Aguablanca Creek, located in the municipality of Bochalema, North of Santander-Colombia, where it is evaluated the hydrologic balance of this basin from the determination of detailed calculations of four mathematical models, to later evaluate the hydrologic balance of this basin, with the purpose of being able to make a better administration of these resources, as well as the use of the soil, betting on the development of an ecologically sustainable society with low environmental impact. The values of potential and real evapotranspiration, according to the most optimal model ETP Thorwaite 874 mm/year ETR 43712 mm/year, Cenicafe 712.81 mm/year ETR 612.1 mm/year Turc ETR 884.83 mm/year quota ETR 825 mm/year.
