| Descripción: | The objective of this study was to analyze spatially the water index (Im), allowing to group the climate according to the degree of humidity. The methodology of the Climatic Water Balance (BHC) for 25 rainfall stations in Carabobo, Venezuela, was used for a common registration period (1969-1999). The results show that four regions were found where the humidity behaves differently, the greatest excesses are to the south of the state and it was found that the climatological stations located in the north of Carabobo present a greater annual deficit. The most important agricultural areas are represented by a water index of (-2.16 to -18.96); which determines a dry Subhumid climate with annual precipitations that oscillate between 921 mm and 1063 mm. This study generated vital information in those agricultural areas requiring additional irrigation or controls with structural drainage works that prevent certain crops sensitive to excess water from being harmed. |
