The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment until 1984 ran a strong campaign measurement of suspended sediment in the main hydrometric stations. Moreover the National Electricity Company (ENEE) ran until the '90s also a strong measure of sediment in the basins of interest. ENEE in 2000 has returned to these measurements. All information collected, to date, presents a lot of discontinuity in the time and frequency measurement. Callable information has seldom been investigated to the point that sediments studies of hydroelectric projects are based on performance criteria and soil loss, based on experience of the consultants.
From the above it was thought necessary to investigate, with the information available, yields and soil loss for the central and east. This will provide a scientific basis for evaluating the values used by the consultants. The hypothesis that the performance range is between 500 and 1000 (tons /year/km ²) is accepted as a result of this investigation.
